N14 and N15 is indicative of a change from water whose re- 

 cent origin is the Bering Sea to water resulting from the 

 melting of the ice in the northern Chukchi Sea. The elonga- 

 tion of the T-S relation for stations N14 and N15 toward low 

 salinity in the surface layers is indicative of melt water. 

 The T-S relationships for stations Nl6, N17 (A through E), 

 N18, and N19 appear in figure 37 with a repetition of the
