Notes on Oceanographic Station Curves 



Thermosteric anomaly (oblique lines) are in centiliters 

 per ton (Montgonnery 1964). Where temperatures of paired ther- 

 mometers differed by more than 0.05'C. below 300 m. or more 

 0. 10*C. above 300 m. , both values are plotted and designated by 

 the symbol ,C*. .C", . The other variables are plotted for each of 

 the temperature values, see station 12. When the station curve 

 is not drawn through a plotted value, it is considered a gross er- 

 ror and not used. 



Explanatory code for station curves: 



^ Reversing thermometer temperatures °C. 



• BT temperature 'C. 



Salinity %o. 



^ Dissolved oxygen ml./L. 



® Inorganic phosphate jig. at./L. 



Notes on Observed Oceanographic Data 



Where more than one cast was made on a station, they 

 are separated by a horizontal line. The cast number is indicated 

 by a Roman numeral in the margin. 



Where the corrected, paired, protected thermometer 

 readings differed by more than 0.05*C. below 300 m. or more 

 than 0. 10*C. above 300 m. , both temperature values are tabulated 

 and the depth and salinity are repeated. Delta-t calculated using 

 each temperature value is carried. 



Ex planatory code for tabulated data: 



NG - The value or line is in error and is discarded. 



NS - This water sample was lost. 



Q - The value seems questionable but was used in con- 

 struction of the station curve. 



P - The value is questionable and while carried was 

 not used in drawing the station curve.
