into an area where water of 34.90% is predominant. Figure 52 does not 

 show a corresponding distortion of the isotherms in this vicinity. 



Figure 50 shows a schematic representation of approximate volume 

 transport in millions of cubic meters per second for the second, third, 

 fourth, and postseason cruises. Time has not yet permitted a full evalu- 

 ation of the volume transport. A more complete analysis of volume and 

 heat transports will be reported in a subsequent bulletin of this series. 



TABLE OF OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA 



The data collected in 1959 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 construction of 

 the dynamic topographic charts shown in figures 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, and 

 51. 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 parentheses, the data 

 are based on extrapolated vertical distribution curves of temperature or 

 salinity or both. Asterisks appearing before observed temperatures indi- 

 cate that these temperatures were determined from the depth of reversal 

 and the corrected reading of an unprotected thermometer. The symbol 

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