NOTES ON OCEANOGRAPHIC STATION CURVES 



Thermosteric anomaly (oblique lines) are in centiliters per ton (see Mongtomgery 1954). 

 Where temperatures of paired thermometers differed by more than O.OS'C. below 300 m. or more 

 than 0. 10°C. above 300 m. , both values are plotted and designated by the symbol -Cx/Cn . The other 

 variables are plotted for each of the temperature values, see station O-l. When the station curve 

 Is not drawn through a plotted value, it is considered a gross error and not used.

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. lO'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. 



The following oceanographic stations were pretrips. Surface temperature and salinity for 

 these stations will be found in table 2. 



Wind velocity was measured with an anemometer 30 meters above the sea surface. The 

 direction (given to the nearest 10°) is that from which the wind was blowing, measured through 360° 

 from north. 



Oxygen samples on station 0-25 were improperly labeled in the field and have been 

 arranged according to the station curves on either side of the station. Oxygen samples were not 

 taken while the vessel was drifting (stations 0-14 through 0-23). 



Phosphate values on stations 0-14 through 0-23 were deleted as examination indicated they were 

 erroneous. Stations 0-46, 0-47, andO-49 appeared questionable but were retained for information. 



Explanatory code for tabulated data 



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



NS - This water sample was lost. 



PT - Nansen bottle pretripped and data are unusable. 



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



P - The value is questionable and while carried was not used in drawing the station 

 curve.
