AVERAGE TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY AT A DEPTH OF 200 METERS IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC
The accuracy of some of the charts in the Meteor Atlas (Wust and Defant, 1936) which deal with the North Atlantic was investigated. New charts and prepared which show the average temperature and average salinity at a depth of 200 m in that area. Attention was focused on the areas of changing tempera...
