The analysis and interpretation of a meridional hydrographic transect of the Atlantic ocean from Iceland to Georgia Island will be completed. The study's focusses are (1) the mixing between Labrador Sea Water and Mediterranean Overflow Water, (2) cross- equatorial deep water exchange in the western basin, (3) the abyssal circulation of the Brazil and Argentine Basins, (4) a description of eastward flow of Deep Water from the deep western boundary current eastward near 21 S, and (5) the circulation of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the southwestern South Atlantic.

将完成对从冰岛到乔治亚岛的大西洋经向水文样带的分析和解释。研究的重点是(1)拉布拉多海水与地中海溢流的混合；(2)西部盆地的跨赤道深水交换；(3)巴西和阿根廷盆地的深海环流；(4)西部深层边界流在21 S附近向东流动的深水描述。(5)南大西洋西南部的南极中间水环流。
