Abstract
The depositional asymmetry associated with a channel along the fracture zone at 52°N in the Atlantic is explained by an eastward-flowing bottom current. This current, below 3000 m, is opposite to the known westward flow of the overlying Scotland-Iceland overflow water. This eastward flow is significant in distribution of bottom sediments and may explain the temperature and salinity similarity of the European basin bottom water to North Atlantic deep water of the western basin.
