Drift of 5700 Miles Marks Ocean Currents in Bottles
The New York World reports on 44 bottles set adrift by U S government tests to map currents. Some traveled 250 miles in five days, others 8,000 miles in 420 days toward Norway, with routes looping from Cuba to Central America, around Newfoundland, and down the African coast into the Caribbean. The study notes mean speeds of nine miles daily in the equatorial current and seven miles daily in the mid Atlantic gulf stream, while challenging the Rennell current theory and confirming a circulating Atlantic pattern south of the Azores.
