Abstract
    A survey of ocean temperature and salinity during February 1966, the fourth of a series is described for the region between the north of New Zealand and the vicinity of Norfolk Island. ' Geopotential calculations showed a net east-going geostrophic flow through the survey area above the core of the Antarctic Intermediate Water at adepth of about 1 km. A large wave in this flow, probably topographically induced, appeared to the east of the Norfolk Ridge. No indication of a Tropical Convergence or of a south-west-flowing Trade Drift was found. Calculations of sound velocity showed a belt of relatively high velocity running zonally through the middle of the survey area in the axis of the SOFAR channel. Velocity corrections for echo soundings were derived for the region.
