APPENDIX E 



APPENDIX E TABLE 1. — Standard error of estimate (°C) for each annual temperature function at 

 Koko Head, 1970-73, with harmonic analysis carried out in sequence to n = 1, 2, 3, . . . and 13. 



APPENDIX E TABLE 2. — Standard error of estimate (%o) for each annual salinity function at Koko 

 Head, 1970-73, with harmonic analysis carried out in sequence to n = 1, 2, 3, . . . and 13. 



APPENDIX E TABLE 3.— Standard error of estimate <°C) for each quarterly temperature function at Christmas Island, 1970-73, 



with harmonic analysis carried out in sequence to n = 1, 2, 3, . . . and 7. 



APPENDIX F 



Harmonic coefficients for the long-term series. Coefficients for each harmonic term in the series 



S = a 



bt +A + 2j (A n cos nwt + B n sin ncot) 



are given in the tables below. Harmonic analysis was performed on the residuals from a linear fit.

If t is in months, for the Koko Head series, oj = ofa > an ^ the first month in January 1956; for the 

 Christmas Island series, oj =240 , and the first month is January 1954.
