Van der Veen, K. Visser, M.P. Corporate name Rijkswaterstaat Date 1976-01-01 Abstract Oceanographic observations were made during Autumn 1970 and Spring 1971. Special attention is given to the salinity maximum at about 100 m depth, resulting from the subtropical intermediate water possibly from both northern and southern origin. To obtain an insight in the spreading of these water types isentropic analysis according to Montgomery has been used. It turns out that during both periods of investigation an anticyclonic gyre is present off Surinam, and during autumn 1970 also off Brazil. However, it is demonstrated that the Surinam and the Brazil gyres differ ln watertypes, based on their temperature-oxygen relation, according to Metcalf and Stalcup.
