| Abstract |
This hydrological survey, the third of a series made in the ocean waters surrounding New Zealand during consecutive summers, has revealed the temperature and salinity characteristics of an area to the north-east of New Zealand. The geopotential topography of the sea surface with respect to 1,000 decibars is discussed and some views are presented on the nature of the East Auckland and East Cape Currents systems; these appeared to be a discontinuous series of eddies. Calculations of the velocity of sound are made from the observed data, and velocity corrections for echo sounding are derived for a northern and a southern station. |
