Although only partially analyzed, the direct observations at the 
same location between 23 January and 8 February 1966 indicate that they 
may differ considerably from the summer subsurface data. At 100 meters 
(328 feet) the current varied between south-southeast and south-southwest, 
with a mean speed of 0.6 knot; at 200 meters (656 feet) the direction 
was about the same but the speed was 0.4 knot; at 500 meters (1,640 feet) 
the flow was mainly south-southeast at about 0.2 knot; and between 1,000 
and 3,000 meters (3,281 and 9,842 feet) it was generally south at 0.1 
knot. At depths of 3,200 and 3,900 meters (10,499 and 12,795 feet) the 
flow was predominantly north-northeast at about 0.2 knot. At the bottom, 
5,380 meters (17,651 feet), the flow was east-southeast at 0.2 knot. 
The current meters were not located in the region of fastest 
current but near the northern boundary of the Antilles Current, where 
the greatest seasonal change is likely to occur. During winter, when 
the Bermuda high migrates to its maximum south position, the northern 
boundary of the Antilles Current also moves southward, and the currents 
in the region of the direct measurements tend to be more variable.
