摘要：

In September 1991, several north-south transects were made across the Chatham Rise along 179-degrees-E, using a ship equipped with a 150 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). Current meters were deployed near the crest of the rise. There is good agreement between the ADCP and current meter measurements. Zonal (along-rise) currents are dominated by diurnal tides, whereas meridian (cross-rise) currents are dominated by semi-diurnal tides. An estimate of the mean currents over 4 days of intensive observations over the northern flank of the Chatham Rise shows currents of up to 0.15 m s-1, probably associated with meanders of the Subtropical Convergence.
