West Greenland Current suggests that the Labrador Current water 

 has been mixed with some North Atlantic Current water in its journey 

 northeastward although this may be the result of seasonal warming. 

 Below the surface in the West Greenland Current the salinit}^ reached 

 a maximum of 35.00°/oo, with a small cross-sectional area of greater 

 than 34.95°/oo as shown in figure 26. While this is a decided increase 

 over 1953 when the maximum found was 34.925°/oo, it is still short 

 of the 35.04°/oo found consistently during the prewar years. 



The volume transport of the West Greenland Current past this 

 section was found to be 8.95, with a mean temperature of 4.95° and a 

 heat transport of 44.33. On the basis of constant mean temperatures
