OBSERVED DISTRIBUTION OF TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY 



This section will be devoted to a description of the horizontal and vertical distribution of the physical 

 and chemical properties of the waters which were surveyed. In the following sections an attempt will 

 be made to relate these observed distributions to the prevailing meteorological conditions and the 

 geography of the area with a view to elucidating the mechanism underlying the process of the up- 

 welling and its fluctuations as we found them.
