SERIAL SECTIONS OF TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY IN THE 

 GULF OF MEXICO AND CARIBBEAN SEA 

 Plate 11 



The stations in the Gulf of Mexico and the 

 Caribbean Sea for serial sections of temperature and 

 salinity shown on the accompanying chart were 

 derived from three sources. First, Messrs. A. E. 

 Parr and C. Iselin II, compiled on a chart the posi- 

 tions of all stations occupied by the Mabel Taylor 

 and the Atlantis for the determinations of sub- 

 surface temperatures and salinities. Reference is 

 made to the two papers by Doctor Parr cited below.'* 



The next source of information is the United 

 States Hydrographic Office and the Scripps Institu- 

 tion of Oceanography. The Hydrographic Office 

 supplied information on the positions of the stations 

 occupied by the U. S. S. Hannibal. Some of the 

 chemical work on the water samples collected at the 

 Hannibal stations in the Caribbean Sea was done 

 at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and from 

 it some of the information incorporated on the chart 

 was received. 



The third source of information is the Dana 



" Parr, A. E., Report on hydrographic observations in 

 the Gulf of Mexico and the adjacent straits made during 

 the Yale Oceanographic Expedition of the Mabel Taylor 

 in 1932: Bingham Oceanographic Collection Bull., vol. 5, 

 Art. 1, September, 1935.

 Caribbean and the Cayman Seas. (Based upon the obser- 

 vations made by the Research Ship Atlantis, 1933-34.)

Expedition in 1928. The title of the publication 

 in which information on the stations is given is 

 contained in the footnote below. '^ 



On the chart the abbreviations for the different 

 vessels are as follows: 



Some consideration was given as to whether 

 stations occupied a number of years ago by the 

 U. S. S. Blake should be included but it was decided 

 that it was preferable to omit them. Although the 

 Blake's temperature records appear trustworthy, 

 as they were taken with Miller-Casella maximum- 

 minimum thermometers, the depths records are 

 not so accurate as those reported more recently by 

 vessels that use unprotected thermometers for the 

 determination of depths at which observations and 

 collections arc made. The older determinations of 

 salinity by the use of hydrometers, in general, are 

 not accurate enough for modern oceanographic work.
