This is a data report, giving temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen data obtained during five surveys of the beta-triangle area of the eastern North Atlantic in the years 1979-81. The report is divided into two parts. Part I consists of a listing of station data obtained on all stations occupied -- on the periphery of the triangle, inside it, and some nearby stations outside it. Part II is a set of profiles of this data drawn on the three sides of the triangle, for easy reference and visual comparison. Detailed scientific study of the data is published elsewhere. Funding was provided by the National Science Foundation under Grant OCE B0-15789 and by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
