These figures are in general 

 agreement with Voorheis etal. 

 (1 973) . The only difference in 

 the conclusions is the rotation of 

 the eddies. Their data indicated 

 cold core eddies are nxjre 

 numerous. The present study 

 indicates warm core eddies 

 dominate. It is difficult to address 

 this difference, but IR positively 

 indicates the temperature 

 differences in water masses. 

 Additional long term analyses may 

 resolve this discrepancy.
