speeds up to O.4 knot; there appears to be a well-defined boundary 
between this current and the northeast-flowing Gulf Stream at depth 
a few miles to the east (Figure 25). From previous determinations 
of the location of the axis of the Gulf Stream, these observed south— 
west sets do not appear directly beneath this axis but are probably 
part of the coastal current that frequently sets southwest past Cape 
Hatteras. However, in the vicinity of 35°00'N, 74°30'W, below 2,300 
meters, there is also evidence of an opposing southwest flow near 
the bottom.
