Data are shown from a two-year current meter mooring in the Canary
Basin near 32°N, 24°W. Current meters were located at depths of 470 m,
970 m, 1070 m and 2970 m during the period October 19, 1984 to October 4,
1986. The mooring deployment is part of an 1984-1988 experiment to measure
features of advection and diffusion of Mediterranean outflow water with
neutrally buoyant SOFAR floats.
