regard to either local tides or times though one might expect to find them 
present. However the presence of these effects may be determined only by 
records of much greater time duration. We shall separate the discussions 
of the temperature records by classifying them as to day, buoy, and depth 
at which taken. Table I gives the figures illustrating the three temper- 
ature record categories 
TABLE I 
DAY BUOY DEPTH 
Fig. 3 same same different 
Fig. 4 same different same 
Fig. 5 different same same 
Records taken on the same day at various depths at the same buoy 
(see Fig. 3) generally have the same characteristics, that is, if the 
temperature increases at one depth, it increases at all depths. The magni- 
tude of the temperature change is different for the different depths, being 
greatest for the unit at the depth where BT's indicated a large change in 
temperature with depth. 
Records taken on the same day at different buoys, and at the same 
depth are illustrated in Fig. 4. We note that there are no obvious corre- 
lations between these records. From Fig. 1(a), we see that the tracks of the 
buoys range from northerly to northwesterly with slightly differing speeds. 
Table II gives the spacing of the buoys at various times after launching.
