SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY

The data recorded by the NAVPRO navigation system were used to produce maps of the surface temperature and salinity (at 3.5 m below the sea level). Figure 22 shows the results in the Thetis Deep area. These results, though at a low level of spatial and temporal synopticity, may be useful for oceanographic studies and for the reprocessing of the multibeam data set.
