on a monthly basis to Woods Hole where they 

 have been processed. The bathythermograins 

 have been read at several levels and tabu- 

 lated; salinities were determined by ^ti.tra- 

 tion or salinometer. The records ofioiiaaaij^ 

 temperature, weather, wind and clouds were 

 used in studying the other data, but are 

 not presented here as they are the sjime as 

 those published in the daily weather jnaps ^ j 

 of the U. S, Weather Bureau. .oioBi §nini9vo?. 



In addition to tabulating [tjhejS/^nfiUsta, 

 mean temperatures for each level for thre^ \o 

 equal time periods per month have been ; ^ jg 

 determined and plotted as time-depth pro-agdO 

 files for the year at each station where r-T'=in 

 bathythermographs were used. The one-third 

 monthly mezin surface temperatures have been 

 plotted in comparison with the monthly mean 

 surface temperature for the period of 

 record of each station.
