APPENDIX B - TABULATED DATA 



Notes On Tabulated Data 



Data headings are similar to those in previous reports and are in such 

 common usage only a few explanatory remarks are required. 



Position - As in other years, station positions were predetermined 



and the vessel was maneuvered to reach each location 

 by utilizing loran. Locations are considered to be as 

 accurate as permitted by the positions and nature of 

 the available loran stations. 



Weather - Coded from U.S. Navy H.O. Publication 606-C. 



Wind - shipboard anemometer (average reading over 

 minute interval). 



Wet, dry temperatures - sling psychrometer. 



Observed data - Sigma-t computed by IBM 650 program. 



Interpolated data - Routine by machine program utilizing observed data two 

 points below and one above the indicated depth. 



Wire angles - The wire angles were recorded but are not presented 



because at most stations it was necessary to maneuver 

 the vessel constantly during the cast. This resulted in 

 5° to 10° variations in the wire angle which were of 

 short duration and perhaps only affected the catenary 

 near the surface. In very heavy seas and high winds, 

 it was necessary to place the vessel stem to the wind 

 and maneuver in this position. In most instances small 

 wire angles were maintained.
