This similarity of velocity profiles suggests that the frictional boundary layer in the actual basin is also very narrow. The observed velocity curves of Fig. 14 indi- cate that the cyclonic flank of the current is very close to the coastline. Molinari and Starr (1972) indicate that the relative speeds of their surface drifters (Fig. 9) in the vicinity of the Strait also suggest a narrow cyclonic boundary layer. 600 450- 300 Non- topographic Case 600r 450-.
