Discovery (Ship); Scientific expeditions; Ocean; Antarctica; Falkland Islands. 6o DISCOVERY REPORTS made by the 'Gauss', 'Valdivia' and 'Planet' have been used in addition to our own data. Where the water from the Agulhas current meets the West Wind Drift there is a region of very irregular currents, and streams of warm highly saline subtropical water alternate with areas of colder and less saline sub-Antarctic water. The existence of such isolated streams of subtropical water illustrates the tendency of the subtropical water to spread southwards over the sub-Antarctic water, and to remain at the surface rather than sink at the convergence. A typical record of the surface temperature across this region, obtained on a passage from Cape Town to Bouvet Island in October 1930, (Station List, 1932), is shown in Fig. 15. The principal boundary between the subtropical and sub-Antarctic waters lies just north of St. 449, but there is another area of sub-Antarctic water 1-20 farther north "HURgSDAY. a * -i-i i-L-L FRlgDAY k at- â V *â-*- SaTU°RDAY » * * SunSday k â t=P=F T-Jâ '"-r=rp-T⢠â;. ._ i~f~ fct±±2^ 36°0OS 16*20'E 3SfOO'S I6°I0'E 42°00'5; )5°2CTE. â145° 00 S.
