在大西洋，在赤道海盆中部和西部观测到赤道深急流。在这里，我们提出了三个纬向速度截面进行了北半球夏季2000年在东赤道大西洋。当时，在几内亚湾向非洲海岸的方向上，观测到赤道深急流减弱或消失。在10°W处，与一年前（1999年北方夏季）测量的海流比较，沿着示踪剂分布证实了北大西洋深水部分区域存在一条沿着赤道向东的路径。
In the Atlantic Ocean, equatorial deep jets have been observed in the central and western equatorial basin. Here, we present three meridional velocity sections carried out in boreal summer 2000 in the eastern equatorial Atlantic. At that time, the deep equatorial jets were observed to weaken or to vanish in the Gulf of Guinea toward the African coast. At 10°W, the comparison with currents measured one year before, in boreal summer 1999, along with tracer distributions confirm the existence of an eastward route along the equator of part of the North Atlantic Deep Water.
