scription of the data fields is given in Haupt (1995). Here, we present two examples of the circulation pattern: the first one shows the circulation of the northern
North Atlantic at 25 m depth (Fig. I5a), and the second one the bottom circulation resulting from the projection of the 3-D velocity field onto the bottom (Fig.
I5b). The bottom velocity is smoothed with a ten-pass sliding average. Although
