Abstract: | We determine the zones of maximum horizontal gradients of thermohaline characteristics and climatic frontal zones in the Tropical
Atlantic and their behavior as functions of time and spatial variables on the basis of the climatic array of data on temperature
and salinity. It is shown that the zones, where the maximum horizontal temperature, salinity, and density gradients coincide,
are located in the northern and southern tropical frontal zones.
