(p. 377) was fitted to these remainders. The values of the constants 

 thus found are D = 34.55, C = 1.25, A= .005, M= .6, 

 f ' = 65, a 1= = .0075, /i 2 = 10,600, w j= = 53, 6 1= = .00495. The 

 value of &! determined from equation (121) exceeds numerically the 

 value .00175 determined from the observations. Expressing the 

 angle in degrees, these values are .28 and .10 respectively. The 

 values n 2 = 10,600 and w l = 53 obtained from the salinity data are 

 in good agreement with the values 7760 and 31 obtained from the 

 more complete and extensive temperature data (p. 378). The com- 

 puted and observed values of the remainders and of the mean annual 

 salinities are entered in table 16 as an additional test of the theory. 

 The computed remainders were obtained from

and the computed mean annual salinities were obtained from 



34.55 1.25 e- 005 ".

The mean velocity of upwelling can also be estimated from the 

 salinity distribution in the upper 30 meter layer, and by an entirely 

 different method. A comparison of this value with the two estimates 

 made with the aid of theoretical results already presented affords a 

 severe test of the theories and gives an idea of the reliability of the
