Abstract: Oceanographic observations from the CGC WESTWIND in the Nares Strait rejifion during AiiKUst and September 1970 are presented.Observed temperature-salinity characteristics are discussed in relation to the interchange of water between the Arctic Ocean and Baffin Bay and the formation of Baffin Bay Deep Water.An average northward transport of 0.48 X 10"m.' sec.from Smith Sound into Kane Basin was computed and is compared with previous transport calculations.The relationship of tidal and wind conditions to the volume transport is also discussed.
