| Abstract |
The results are presented of a survey of the distribution of temperature and salinity in the upper 2.5 km of the south-east Tasman Sea, south-west of New Zealand. This is the second of a series of studies of the summer hydrological situation in the ocean waters surrounding New Zealand. A discussion of the survey data is offered in terms of the general oceanic circulation system in the area and in particular, the Subtropical Convergence. Calculations of the velocity of sound through the survey area are made and related to the hydrological structure, and velocity corrections for echo soundings in the area are derived. |
