In 1963, the source of the Equatorial Undercurrent appeared to be near 38 degrees W. This undercurrent was an equatorial extension of a narrow saline current setting east-southeast at the surface near 2 degrees N 42 degrees W. Near 380 degrees W, a retroverse branch of the Guiana Current also joined the Equatorial Undercurrent. Surface flow was easterly along all of the east-southeast current and the undercurrent observed. The subsurface-velocity maximum of the undercurrent was higher at 35 degrees W than at 38 degrees W.
1963 年，赤道潜流的源头似乎在西经 38 度附近。这条潜流是一条狭窄的盐度流在北纬 2 度、西经 42 度附近向东南方向延伸的赤道延伸部分。在西经 380 度附近，圭亚那逆流的反向分支也加入了赤道潜流。观测到的东南向所有海流和潜流的表面流都是向东的。潜流的次表层速度最大值在西经 35 度处高于西经 38 度处。
