TABLE OF OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA 



The data collected in 1957 are tabulated below. The individual 

 station headings give the station number, date, geographical position, 

 depth of water and dynamic height of the sea surface used in the con- 

 struction of the dynamic topographic charts shown in figures 19, 20, 21 

 and 25. The depths of water are rough approximations, being the 

 uncorrected sonic soundings based on a sounding velocity of 800 fathoms 

 per second and containing an additional mechanical speed error of about 

 1/60. Where the depths of scaled values are enclosed in parenthesis, 

 the data are based on extrapolated vertical distribution curves of temper- 

 ature or salinity or both. Asterisks appearing before observed tempera- 

 tures indicate that these temperatures were determined from the depth 

 of reversal and the corrected reading of an unprotected thermometer. 

 The symbol <x t signifies 1,000 (density —1) at atmospheric pressure and 

 temperature t.
