 ity is lower. In the Atlantic Current, the salinity is again the controlling- 

 factor hut in the opposite direction as both the salinity and density are 

 higher below 200 meters. 



Figures 51, .12, and 53 show respectively, the topography of the sea 

 surface relative to the 1500-decibar surface, the temperature distribution,
