Thus, among the new data the seven- month concurrent current records receive primary attention. A reevaluation of the transport in the vicinity of Bering Strait using the new data requires an orderly series of analyses, to wit: (1) Calibration of the single record from Bering Strait in terms of transport. This can be accom- plished in two ways: by computing transports from the measurements of the six meters located along the Cape Lisburne section, which was a nearly closed section from Alaska to Siberia, and correlating the flow measured at NCIO with these; and correlating the transports from the 11 previous cross-sections with the flow at the position of meter NCIO in the section. (2) Next, cahbration of the flow measured in the St. Lawrence Island section (meters NC16, NC17) as transport. This is a more tenuous process, because although the flow passes through channels on both sides of St. Lawrence, the meters were placed only in the east channel. However, transport estimates are
