List of Figures

1. Investigated Areas. Bathymetry by IBCM [14].
2. Idealized sketch of the grid (with steps dlon,dlat) used for the 3-D function analysis (black lines), the encompassed area which of integration that is defined by the polygonal $lon_i,lat_i$, for $i=0,3$ (red box) and the SARAGO trajectories of the U2 cruise (blue lines).
3. Idealized sketch for the 3-D function analysis.$dx,dy$ define the grid which is calculated for every $n^{th}~ dz$ slice down to $z_{max}$.
4. The SARAGO probe in Water
