| In this XBT section (a), the dots indicate where probes have been launched. The horizontal axis gives the distance from the Newfoundland shelf break (in the direction of Iceland to the right). The average temperature is shown in section (b) between the Newfoundland shelf break and Iceland. The dashed line indicates the average March mixed layer depth. Figures by G. Reverdin, CNRS. |
