Glider 008 shows the cold shelf water near Fyllas Bank (left) and as it moved down the continental slope passed the warm Irminger Current water (profles 9-12). Near profiles 21-30 it was twirled by a warm anticyclonic eddy with strong currents (next slide) The horizontal sampling density of the saw-tooth path averages 3 km; ship-borne hydrographic sections have typical sampling density of 50 to 100km
