METHOD

• Geostrophic Method was used in analysis
• First, geopotential anomalies for each station
  were calculated.
• Second, the geostrophic velocities between
  stations were calculated with respect to deepest
  cast in each station.
• Finally, total volume transport calculated by
  using geostrophic velocities.

HYDROGRAPHIC FEATURES

CONCLUSIONS

• Conservation of Mass ????
• Total volume transport through the box should be
  zero
• Assumptions for Geostrophic method may effect the
  result
• The water depth greater than 1000 db mostly
  around the box.
