In the past decade, scientists Amy Bower of WHOI and Susan Lozier of Duke University used floats to observe that some southward- flowing waters may detour out of the Deep Western Boundary Current. One potential detour spot may be at the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, where the coastline takes a series of sharp turns. Line W is an ocean observatory system strategically placed across both currents.
