Abstract

In 1959 and 1960 eight surveys were made in an area about 54 x 83 km in the English Channel immediately south of Plymouth (Armstrong & Butler, 1962b). Measurements of temperature and salinity and of phosphate and silicate concentrations showed a good deal of variation from place to place so that it would be difficult to accept results from any one station as typical of the area. The density distributions suggested a general eastward movement in the winter and, in summer, a movement of surface water offshore from the English coast, with a corresponding onshore movement of deeper water.
