  abstract = {{T}hese results relate to the {T}opogulf cruise during summer 1983. {T}he sampled area is located near the {A}zores islands on both sides of the mid-{A}tlantic ridge. {T}he tritium content of the surface waters reveals a strong front along the {A}zores current. {A}t depth, the spatial distribution of tritium is studied along isopycnals. {I}n the thermocline, it is essentially the anticyclonic gyre which is responsible for the {N}ortheast - {S}outhwest gradient in tritium concentration. {S}ome information about the "age" of the water masses is given by the use of both tritium and helium-3. {I}n this way some areas where ventilation processes are active are identified. {A}t middepth, a strong contrast exists between the young waters originating from the {L}abrador {S}ea and the more stagnant waters in the south east of the sampled area.
