Abstract

Oceanographic research has been carried out to study the flow of Antarctic Bottom Water along the Vidal abyssal channel and the Vema Fracture Zone in the tropical part of the northwestern Atlantic. Research was also carried out in the North Equatorial Countercurrent and on a section through the Amazon River plume in the open ocean.
