In the following table are given the data collected during the 1937 

 season and post-season cruises. The individual station headings give 

 the station number, date, geographical position, depth of water, and 

 dynamic height of the sea surface above the reference surface used in 

 the construction of the dynamic topographic charts shown in figures 

 34, 35, 36, and 40. For stations 2265 to 2465, inclusive, the sea 

 surface is referred to the 1,000-decibar surface and the depth of water 

 is the uncorrected fathometer sounding based on a sounding velocity 

 of approximately 1,447 meters per second. For stations 2466 to 2540, 

 inclusive, the sea surface is referred to the 2,000-decibar surface and 

 the depth of water is the sonic sounding corrected for sounding velocity 

 and draft but not for slope. 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 mdicate that these tempera- 

 tures were determined from the depth of reversal and the corrected 

 reading of an unprotected thermometer. The symbol at signifies 1,000 



(density —1).
