Along 92 degrees W, the EUC occurred at an average depth of about 100 meters. The EUC flow around the northern portion of the Galapagos was much greater than the flow to the south.3356184 bytesapplication/pdfen-USAcoustic doppler current profilerEquatorial undercurrentGalapagos IslandsA characterization of the Equatorial Undercurrent between 92°00’W and 91°20’WThe EUC Between 92°00’W and 91°20’WOther
