Abstract
Examination of hydrographic data obtained over a large submarine canyon revealed a cell with a core of high salinity water nestled in the outer (deeper) reaches of the canyon. Bemuse of the T-S distribution within the cell and the current that parallels the continental slope adjacent to the canyon, we suggest that the cell is similar to the current rings which have been observed elsewhere.Keywords
