Abstract

Current meter and CTD data are presented, describing a dense bottom current which transports Labrador Current Water into Fortune Bay, Newfoundland. The effects of rotation and friction are discussed and the three-dimensional nature of the inflow is highlighted. Geostrophy alone is unable to account for the cross-channel momentum balance. The inflow may represent an important sink for the inshore branch of the Labrador Current.
