Abstract:

Smoothed mean curves of temperature versus salinity are computed from all available hydrographic data for 10 deg squares in the Pacific between 20S and 40N. Together these curves provide information on the distribution of water masses. Graphs of the individual curves are presented which include the scatter of TS pairs and the standard deviation in salinity along each curve. Salinity at a temperature interval of 1 C is also given in tabular form for each curve. Author
