Mass, salt, and heat transport across 40?N latitude in the Atlantic Ocean based in IGY data and dynamic height calculations.
This study discusses the development of a computer program capable of performing the necessary dynamic computations to obtain estimates of the transports of mass, salt, and heat across the vertical cross section at 40°N within the North Atlantic Ocean. Previous studies have used either different app...

This study discusses the development of a computer program capable of performing the necessary dynamic computations to obtain estimates of the transports of mass, salt, and heat across the vertical cross section at 40°N within the North Atlantic Ocean.

Temperature and salinity data from Crawford Cruise 16, 2 to 22 October 1957 of the International Geophysical Year, are used for the entire cross section of ocean. These observations provide data that are both homogeneous and consistent . General interpolation methods are evaluated for determining the temperature and salinity observations at standard depths. A combination of linear and mean parabolic interpolation methods is found to be the most accurate method of estimating the continuous vertical temperature and salinity, profiles at each station.
