Abstract

Soundings collected during research vessel cruises in the region immediately to the west of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge permit the topography to be described in detail, especially with reference to the inflow to the Rockall Trough of Norwegian Sea Deep water. Topography directs the densest water towards an isolated deep of over 1700 m depth, but water can only flow from this to the south across a sill at 1300 to 1360 m, or to the northwest above 1110 m. A number of modifications to existing topographic charts of the area are noted.
