the Geodyne current meters (Richaärdson-type) were me- 
chanically read and evaluated at the company, neverthe- 
less a careful manual check had to be applied, especial- 
ly for errors in the time base, The Hydrowerkstätten 
current meter records (Flachsee- and Tiefsee-type) were 
read and evaluated at the Deutsches Hydrographisches In- 
stitut, as well as the records of the tide-gauges and 
bottom temperature recorders, All data are now stored on 
magnetic tape at the Deutsches Hydrographisches Institut. 
The in-line pressure and temperature recorders did not 
perform sufficiently, so that their data can only be 
used supplementarily, 
Besides 1088 of instruments by fishermen action several 
unussble records of all types of instruments employed 
account for the loss of data-rate of this cruise, The fi- 
nal data of the moored instruments of this cruise are pre- 
sented in time series, progressive vector diagrams and 
spectra, first showing all data from the"Southern (Deep) 
Triangle" and second showing those of the "Northern 
(Shelf) Triangle", 
3. Time Series 
The current meter records show a predominant tidal in- 
fluence of semi-diurnal period in both the southern (deep) 
triangle and the northern (shelf) triangle, Maximum ve=- 
locities in the southern triangle occasionally reach 
75-80 ecm/sec in 130 m depth whereas the surface layer in 
the northern (shelf) triangle indicates velocities of about 
110 em/sec in 18 m depth. In the southern (deep) triangle 
the current oscillates mainly around northerly directions 
but for the bottom record at station (11), which gives a 
main direction of flow of about 2459, comparing well with 
the position of the near-by shelf edge. The record (11.2) 
is given only for informative purposes as it is spoiled 
by sensor jamming. Contrary to the directional pattern in 
the current of the southern (deep) triangle we find almost
