analysis of the 366 day period beginning and ending on 2 

 July. There were sufficient data from July 1968 to July 

 1971 to use the expected values from these analyses as 

 the interpolated values for the first days of 1969 and 1971 

 (Fig. 1). The values used for the 1st and 366th days of the 

 annual analyses at each level are listed in Appendix I. 

 Table 1 shows the manner in which these values were ob- 

 tained. 



Before proceeding with the harmonic analyses of the 

 complete data set limited analyses were made as a 

 quality control procedure. Harmonic coefficients were 

 derived to the 12th harmonic for the salinity and depth 

 series at the ct, 26 and 27 levels of each year. Equation (3) 

 was then used to evaluate and plot the fitted curve
