Stations occupied during ARCHIMEDES-3 in the (sub)tropical Atlantic. The Romanche Fracture Zone (RFZ) comprises Sts 1–18. The direction of flow of the major deep-water masses (Antarctic Intermediate Water AAIW, North Atlantic Deep Water NADW and Antarctic Bottom Water AABW) is shown in the inset. The inset shows the potential density (colored scale) and potential temperature (indicated by the numbers in °C and isothermals) and the direction and approximate depth of the core waters of the individual deep-water masses.
