Excerpt from Oceanographic Observations in Kane Basin and Baffin Bay: May and August-October 1969 The hydrographic results (fig. 2) indicated that time-dependent changes in the water column were negligible over the measurement period. A nearly homogeneous layer, characterized by frequent to 003°c supercooling, extended from the surface down to 50 m. Temperature was assumed to be a more reliable indicator Of downward convection than salinity (aagaard and Coachman, 1968) and suggested downward convection to 100 m, below which strong thermo and haloclines occurred down to 200 m. NO water of the proper type to contribute to Baffin Bay Bottom Water to to was detected. The measured currents are summarized in the form of speed and direction histograms (fig. The complete set Of current measurements was too long for inclusion in this report, but may be Obtained from the Department of Oceanography, University of Washington.
