Mathematical term describing the extent to which water is 

 in buoyant equilibrium at any point in the ocean. Refers 

 to Dynamic stability.

Act of placing the trace from one BT over the trace of another 

 BT so as to coincide in all points possible by translating, 

 but not rotating, the traces the necessary amount.

Value of surface temperature of the ocean as read from a 

 regular measuring thermometer which is placed in a bucket 

 sample of surface water scooped up at the desired point of 

 measurement by a specially designed bucket. > , 



See Displacement, Temperature ' 



See Gradient, Temperature. 



Surface temperature of the ocean as read from the injection 

 thermometer which is located aboard ship at the point of 

 cold water intake. The location of the intake is not actually 

 at the surface, but may be a considerable distance below the 

 water level.

In its strictest sense, a transition layer of water at mid 

 depths between the top surface layer which is isothermal 

 and mixed, and a very deep mass of much colder water in 

 which the temperature decreases very slightly and uniformly 

 with depth. 



The term, more generally applied, refers to any layer in 

 which the temperature decreases markedly with depth. 



Impression on the smoked BT slide etched by the tempera- 

 ture pen arm which represents a graph of temperature versus 

 depth. 



Trace made during the descent of the BT. 



Trace made during the ascent of the BT. 



Plot of temperature or depth (single or average value) versus 

 time, primarily used to indicate the trends or changes in these 

 conditions with time.
