 by a horizontal line, and the cast number indicated by Roman numerals. 



Weather is recorded in the ww (present weather) code given in the U. S. Weather Bureau 

 circular M, eighth edition, Manual of Marine Meteorological Observations. Cloud cover is in 

 tenths of the sky.

 surface. The direction (given to the nearest 10 ) is that from which the wind was blowing, meas- 

 ired through 360 from north. 



The following abbreviations, when appended to values or lines in the tabulated data have 

 he following meanings: 



Q -- The value seems questionable, but was used in construction of the station curve. 



P -- The value is poor, and while carried was not used in drawing the station curve. 



NG -- The value is obviously in error, and was dropped from the tabulations.
