central saddle of the Carnegie Ridge / Carnegie saddle Explanation: First, a Spanish source to establish the meaning of the term. See the map of the Panama basin on p. 4 here, with the "Depresión central de Carnegie" marked as DC (it's difficult to see, but it's just above "C S Ca", which refers to Cordillera Submarina de Carnegie and is known as the Carnegie Ridge in English). As you can see it's a deeper area in the middle of the ridge. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Essy_Santana/publicatio... It's known as a "saddle" in English: "The separation of Carnegie Ridge into two elongated triangular-shaped parts, with a central bathymetric low (saddle), has been attributed to temporal variations in the relative locations of, and interactions between, the GHS and the CNSC." http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2005AGUFM.T13D0506D This is sometimes called the "central saddle of the Carnegie Ridge": "an erosional channel which leads north from the 2300 m central saddle area of the Carnegie Ridge" http://books.google.es/books?id=gY0aSasCLNoC&pg=PA175&lpg=PA... Or more briefly "Carnegie Ridge saddle" or just "Carnegie saddle": "The Carnegie Ridge is composed by two segments separated by a topographic low (saddle) at 2400-m depth (Fig. 1B). [...] The most conspicuous seafloor features discovered during the SALIERI Cruise are fields of sub-circular, steep-sided, and closed depressions distributed along the northern and southern flanks of the eastern Carnegie Ridge segment and Carnegie Ridge saddle (Figs. 3 and 4). These depressions were observed in water depths between 1200 and 2800 m (Flueh et al., 2001; Chabert, 2002; Michaud et al., 2002). Near the Carnegie saddle they are concentrated between 2300 and 2600 m, with a few as deep as 2800 m (Fig. 4A,B)." François Michaud et al., "Fields of multi-kilometer scale sub-circular depressions in the Carnegie Ridge sedimentary blanket: Effect of underwater carbonate dissolution?" https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Francois_Michaud2/publi... But in this article they also call it the central saddle of the Carnegie Ridge, and I think that's what I would use: "Fig. 3. Close-up of the central saddle of the Carnegie Ridge" |
