Orange Peel and dredge bottom samples stored in sample jars, and Phleger 

 cores capped and sealed, were shipped to NAVOCEANO for analyses. 



III. DATA ANALYSIS 



Thermometer data were field corrected and rechecked at NAVOCEANO . 

 Paired protected thermometers were averaged except where an error obviously 

 existed . A summary of paired protected thermometer readings is presented as

Wire length determined accepted depths at most shallow stations (100 meters 

 or less); however, on the deep casts in the Arabian Sea, as many as five Nansen 

 bottles with an unprotected thermometer paired with a protected thermometer 

 measured thermometric depths for use in determining accepted depths. 



Salinity samples returned to NAVOCEANO were analyzed on a University 

 of Washington Conductivity Salinometer . Samples collected fn 350 ml . citrate 

 bottles received duplicate analysis, but samples collected In 150 ml . citrate bottles 

 contained only enough water for a single analysis. For duplicate analysis the cell 

 readings within .20 ohms were averaged, otherwise, a third sample was analyzed. 

 Table 3 lists the cruise, the number of water samples, type analysis (single or 

 duplicate), and reruns.
