In an analysis of these data, Sweitzer, in 1898, reported that the circulation was a spreading of this inflow which resulted in an anticyclonic circulation around the entire Gulf basin. Parr, in 1935, reported the opposite conclusion using ATLANTIS data taken in 1933; he stated

Parr, in 1935, reported the opposite conclusion using ATLANTIS data taken in 1933; he stated that the Gulf Stream takes the shortest path from Yucatan to the Straits of Florida. Leipper expressed this divergence of opinion as the state of know- ledge in 1954 even after reviewing Dietrich's 1939 map of the salinity maximum core, which reflects the deep penetration seen in figure Work done in the 1960's, notably by Leipper, and others (Capurro and Reid, 1972), led Leipper to speculate that there was an annual cycle in the current patterns in the eastern Figure Lindenkohl's 1895 map of the temperature field (°F) at 250 fm in the Gulf of Mexico. Data are from soundings made by Sigsbee, Bartlett, and Brownson between 1874 and 1883. The shallow waters (<250 fm) of Campeche Bank and the west Florida Platform are stippled on the chart. 372.
