6 Conclusions
Acknowledgments I thank the crews of the R/V Thethys II and Le Suroît for the sea operations, G. Rougier and C. Millot for preparing the ‘GYROSCOP-2’ mooring, and T. Gerkema for providing the model results. I gratefully acknowledge support from the Netherlands organisation for the advancement of scientific research, NWO, and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, CNRS, under the (alas no longer existing) French Dutch scientific collaboration.
