Data Collected in 1959 by English Research Vessels at Serial and Surface Hydrographic Stations (NCEI Accession 6900852)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 04:06 AM | Dataset Last Updated: October 30, 2018 at 12:00 AM
The present volume contains data collected in 1959 by English research vessels at serial and surface hydrographic stations. The data list are preceded by a number of track charts as well as surface charts and vertical stations. In the track charts all stations worked have been plotted; serial stations are indicated by a dot, surface stations by a circle. The surface charts show the distribution of temperature and or salinity at the surface of the sea for a number of cruises. Also, the vertical sections show the distribution of temperature and salinity.
