shoal off Hamilton Inlet is apparent in the current pattern off South 

 Wolf Island. On the Greenland side, the Irminger Current component 

 and the East Greenland Current component of the West Greenland 

 Current are not distinguishable in figure 51. The contributions of each of 

 these components, however, can be seen in figures 52 and 53, the tem- 

 perature and salinity distributions. The temperature distribution appears 

 to be normal but the salinity distribution in the deep water at station 

 7277 shows an anomalous condition with an intrusion of 34.84% ( water
