Average Winter and Summer Temperature and Salinity Profiles for the Deep Ocean Provinces.

Abstract

The oceans of the northern hemisphere are divided into twenty-three different provinces. For each province mean temperature and salinity structures are given from surface to bottom. For the upper part of the temperature profile winter and summer conditions are given. Furthermore, average maximum and minimum temperature profiles for the upper 400 meters are given for each of the regions. The formation of the temperature and salinity profiles in a number of regions is briefly described and few comparisons of the regions are made. (Author)
