. Collected reprints / Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratories [and] Pacific Oceanographic Laboratories. Oceanography 52 JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY Volume 5. 20° 85° 80" 75* Fig. 1. The Cayman Sea (western Caribbean Sea), and its major topographic features. The observational data taken during the spring of 1933, 1961 and 1968 all suggest a similar circulation pattern. March 1961 and April-May 1968 EBH data given in Figs. 3 and 4, respectively, show the dominant features of the flow. During both years the major portion of the flow through the Yucatan Strait crossed 85W as an intense coherent current south of the Cayman Ridge. The current had a predominantly westerly drift at this longitude. In 1968, a closed eddy was centered at approximately 85°30'W, 19°30'N (Fig. 3). The 1961 data do not permit closure of the contours but they do indicate a similar circular pattern centered to the east of the 1968 feature (Fig. 4). During both years the western intensification convergence of the isopleths occurs at the vicinity of and north of Cozumel Island. The April-May 1933 and February 1961 data, although sparse, present further evidence for a common spring circulation pattern. Since neither field can be contoured, only the EBH values and the direction of the EBH computed velocity are given for the February TWO LAYER a,-CURVE.
