Figure SB. Comparison of near simultaneous STD cast and Nansen cast. The ordinate is depth and the abscissa 

 is temperature and salinity. The left hand curve is salinity and the right hand curve is temperature. 

 The temperature .scale is along the lower abscissa and the salinity scale is along the upper abscissa. 

 The ordinate is depth in meters. The salinity and temperature values obtained from the comparative 

 Nansen cast are plotted at proper depths as circles and squares respectively. The salinity scale was 

 changed at 107 meters.
