Study of the oceanographic conditions in the Caribbean in 2003

[EN]A meridional hydrographic section was made in October 2003 at 66ºW from the coast of Venezuela to Puerto Rico. In this report, we concentrate from surface to 1700 m depth in the Caribbean. The data show two distinct water masses with different origins: Caribbean Surface Water, with salinity values less that 35.5, and Subtropical Underwater (SUW), with subsurface salinity higher than 37, with their source in the North Atlantic and subtropics respectively, as previously observed. Different velocity patterns in the water masses from Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean are observed. Mass transport through the section is westward and about 30 Sv that matches the transport of the Florida Current.
