Abstract
The submarine ridge between the eastern tip of Cuba and the northwestern tip of Haiti forms the sill of the Windward Passage and is the topographic barrier between the deep water of the Atlantic Ocean and that of the Cayman Basin in the northwestern Caribbean Sea. The controlling depth of this ridge was shown to be 1560 m by a bathymetric survey using a precision radar ranging system.The results agree with previous estimates based on temperature distribution and bathymetric surveys.
