ABSTRACT 



Oceanographic data from ten cruises on Ocean Station CHARLIE 

 (52°45'N, 35°30'W) during the period April 1967 to April 1968 are presented. 

 These data consist of observed and interpolated temperature and salinity data 

 from 187 shallow (<1500 meters) and 7 deep (>1500 meters) casts. Tem- 

 perature-depth and salinity-depth distribution plots show that the tempera- 

 ture distribution follows a seasonal trend, but the salinity distribution is more 

 diverse. Temperature-salinity plots for the deep casts indicate the presence 

 of Labrador Sea Water and Northeast Atlantic Deep Water. The thermo- 

 haline characteristics of the -20 salinity anomaly (Bubnov, 1967) indicate 

 water of Subarctic Intermediate Water characteristics at Ocean Station 

 CHARLIE. Examination of the sea surface temperature and salinity shows 

 that Subarctic Intermediate Water was formed in the area of Ocean Station 

 CHARLIE from January to April 1968 but not from June to November 1967.
