Abstract
The pattern of the steady state, transverse current component in the surface layer of the Florida Current off Miami is described on the basis of two independent sets of data. The first consists of over 500 GEK observations obtained over an 8 year period and the second of over 1100 observations selected from Pillsbury's measurements. There is a westward component along the western edge of the Current and an eastward one across the remainder. The maximum magnitude is about 10 cm/s. Discussions of the methods of data selection, reduction, and errors are included.
