“…Vertical and horizontal structure Schmid et al [2001] found, using an equatorial LADCP section, that the zonal flow at the equator between 500 ¤ and more than 1000 ¤ . This range is quite similar to the range of 400-600 ¤ published elsewhere [Ponte et al, 1990;Böning and Schott, 1993;Schott et al, 1998;Molinari et al, 1999;Gouriou et al, 1999;Gouriou et al, 2001;Send et al, 2002].
