Scientific paper

In the Atlantic Ocean, equatorial deep jets have been observed in the central and western equatorial basin. Here, we present three meridional velocity sections carried out in boreal summer 2000 in the eastern equatorial Atlantic. At that time, the deep equatorial jets were observed to weaken or to vanish in the Gulf of Guinea toward the African coast. At 10°W, the comparison with currents measured one year before, in boreal summer 1999, along with tracer distributions confirm the existence of an eastward route along the equator of part of the North Atlantic Deep Water.
