adjacent stations at the various standai-d depth 

 levels as sliown in figures 3 and 4. The volume 

 flow information was calculated through each 

 solenoid using the following equations: 



V=v,„XA 

 A=dXh 



(1) 

 (2) 

 (3) 



V= volume flow 



z)m=mean water velocity within the 

 solenoid 



A = area of solenoid bounded by 

 station location and standard 

 depths 

 (Z?^ — Z?b)= difference between the mean dy- 

 namic height values of adjacent 

 stations, based on 1000-decibar 

 level, at a point between the 

 upper and lower standard depth 

 values bounding the solenoid 



y=corioUs force 



L=distance between adjacent sta- 

 tions 



d=vevtic&l distance between the 

 standard depth values bounding 

 the solenoid 



Combining equations (1), (2), and (3):

The volume flow calculations are now independ- 

 ent of the distance between adjacent stations. 

 This allows simplified volume flow computations 

 through solenoid located along the bottom in shal- 

 low water. Data points along the bottom at sig- 

 nificant slope changes within a particular solenoid 

 can therefore be treated like data obtained from 

 the nearest station higlier on the slope as shown 

 below. 



The computer receives the previously determined 

 dynamic height values at the standard deptli 

 boundaries and any values in between for the par- 

 ticular solenoid being examined. It then, com- 

 putes the mean dynamic height within the stand- 

 ard depth boundaries for each of the two stations 

 bounding the solenoid and thus arrives at a figure 

 for {Da — Db). Equation (4) is then automati- 

 cally solved and the volume flow results with tlie 

 dimensions of lO^m^/sec. The direction of flow 

 is indicated by a plus or minus sign in the answer. 



By the above-described process, an entire sec- 

 tion can be broken into the desired solenoids and 

 tlie entire volume flow, magnitude and direction 

 can be determined. Summations of the solenoids 

 by direction of transport or other unique i)roperty 

 may be made, thus allowing the computation of 

 salt and heat transports. More detail in tlie re- 

 sulting transport description can be obtained by 

 closer vertical sample spacing and by closer station 

 spacing thereby resulting in a greater number of 

 solenoids within a given section.
