An Atlas of Bathy-Thermograph Temperature Cross-Sections for Coral and Tasman Sea Transects from 1960 to 1987
Abstract
An atlas of 190 temperature cross-sections is presented for the Tasman and Coral Seas for 1960 to 1987. The sections were constructed from bathy-thermograph (BT) temperature profiles obtained by ships on routes between Australia, New Zealand and Fiji in the region 20-50 S, 150-180 E. About 150 sections lie oil six major routes, e.g. 50 sections are available from Sydney to New Zealand along 34 S, and 40 sections from Sydney to Fiji. Depth of sections is nominally 450 m. The sections provide the background for an examination of Tasman and Coral Sea surface flow and temperature structure presented elsewhere. Data were obtained from the Australian Oceanographic Data Centre.
