NOTES ON TABULATED OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA, HMS-35 



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. 



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

 Circular M, Eighth Edition. Manual of Marine Meteorological Observations. Cloud coverage is 

 in tenths of sky. 



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, nneasured through 

 360° from north. 



Explanatory Code for Tabulated Data 



Q - the value is 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 or line is in error and is discarded. 



NG(C) - phosphate values in error due to contamination. 



NS - this water sample was lost. 



PT - Nansen bottle pretripped and data are unusable.
