For the first time, a pulse-like temperature signal was detected from a mooring deployed in the deep boundary current 100 km downstream of the northwestern Mediterranean convection region. It is concluded that the mechanism of dense convection water feeding directly into a deep boundary current is a realistic process. Whilst no increase in its transport was observed, it seems possible that the boundary current can directly remove a considerable fraction on the order of 50% of the dense water formed by the convection.
