Offshore Waters of the Canadian Pacific Coast
Four oceanographic surveys of the Pacific Ocean between the Canadian coast and Longitude 141° W. were undertaken in 1950, 1951 and 1952. The data are analysed to show the temperature, salinity and density structure, and the calculated currents. There is a surface zone about 100 to 150 metres deep in...
