from South Wolf Island, Labrador, to Cape Farewell, Greenland, the 

 volume transport and mean temperature of the Labrador Current 

 and West Greenland Current past this section, temperature distribu- 

 tion within the section and salmity distribution within the Greenland 

 half of the section. The Irminger Current component of the West 

 Greenland Current was still subnormal in 1952. Further examination 

 of this section will be made on the basis of total phosphorus and re- 

 ported upon in the next bulletin of this series. 



The measurements of total phosphorus have not been completed 

 and the results will be published in the next bulletin of this series. 

 Except for phosphorus, the data collected during the 1952 season and 

 postseason cruises are tabulated below. The individual station head- 

 ings give the station number, date, geographical position, depth of 

 water, and give the dynamic height of the sea surface used in the 

 construction of the dynamic topographic charts shown in figures 7, 

 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13. The depths of water are rough approximations, 

 being uncorrected sonic soundings based on a sounding velocity of 

 800 fathoms per second and containing an additional mechanical 

 speed error of about ± %o. Where the depths of the scaled values are 

 enclosed in parentheses, the data are based on extrapolated vertical 

 distribution curves of temperature or salinity or both. Asterisks 

 appearing before observed temperatures indicate that these tempera- 

 tures were determined from the depth of reversal and the corrected 

 readmg of an unprotected thermometer. The symbol (r, signifies 

 1,000 (density— 1) at atmospheric pressure and temperature t.
