Relative Topography— 1.500 Decibars 



Figure 95. — The d.vnamlc topography of the sea surface of Davis Strait, 

 July 19 to September 11, 1928. as determlued by the Marion expedition. 

 The sea-surface relief has been obtained by comparing it with that of 

 a plane at a depth of 1,500 de(Mbars. The dynamic height contours 

 (isobaths) are drawn for every two dynamic centimeters. The survey 

 is based on 191 oceanographic 'stations represented by the small circles 

 on the map. The reference station is No. 947. the dynamic height of 

 which above the 1,500-decibar plane is 1454.54y90 dynamic meters.
