Abstract
Five neutrally buoyant floats were followed for periods of 12–71 hr during a water-sampling survey of the Labrador Sea in the Erika Dan in early 1962. Qualitatively, these few observations support the idea of an anticlockwise deep flow in the Labrador Basin, but (as might be expected) they do not yield a consistent “level of no motion” when combined with the profiles of relative geostrophic current. The data are inadequate for making an unambiguous estimate of deep water transport, but it seems likely that the anticlockwise volume transport in the Labrador Basin below 1200 m depth is of the order of 10 million m 3/sec.
