Figure F1. Location of Site U1305 relative to other sites drilled during Expedition 303. Black and blue arrows indicate deep- and surface-current trajectories, respectively. Sediment deposition at all sites is influenced by these currents and by turbiditic flow down the Northwest Atlantic Mid-Ocean Channel (NAMOC). Cross-section from southwest (SW) to the vicinity of Site U1306 (lower frame) indicates location of sites relative to principal water bodies. Shaded region in central Labrador Sea indicates main area of formation of Labrador Sea Water (LSW). WBUC = Western Boundary Undercurrent, CGFZ = Charlie Gibbs Fracture Zone, LC = Labrador Current, NAD = North Atlantic Drift, WGC = West Greenland Current, NEADW = Northeast Atlantic deep water, DSOW = Denmark Strait Overflow Water, NADW = North Atlantic Deep Water (modified after Hillaire-Marcel and Bilodeau, 2000).
