| Abstract |
Bottom water throughflows at the Rio de Janeiro Fracture Zone (22 degrees S) and Rio Grande Fracture Zone (26 degrees S) of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge are identified from hydrographic anomalies observed along 9 degrees W in the Angola Basin. The throughflow water is supplied by a meridional band of cold and fresh water lying against the western flank of the Ridge. |
