Table 3. Comparison of geostrophic and measured transport estimates (103 m3 sec-1) by salinity class of shelf water entrained by Ring 82-B in June 1982. (Comparisons were based on geostrophic calculations for Stations 17-25 and on a nearby section directly measured (ADCP/"tow-yo" CTD) by Joyce et al. (1992).)
