MATERIAL
Fig. 2 shows the location of the hydrographic
stations dealt with in this paper. The data collected
are kept on file at the Marine Research Institute in
Reykjavík. The data are based on standard hydro-
graphic observations with water bottles (Hydro-
Bios, Kiel) and reversing thermometers (±0.02°C,
Gohla, Kiel). The salinity was determined by con-
ductivity (±0.003 x 10~3, Australian Auto-Lab Sal-
inometer and Unesco Internatíonal Oceanographic
Tables), and the oxygen was determined by Winkl-
er titration. In Figs. 5, 6, 9 and 10 the data on

salinity and sigma-t are shown to two decimal fig-
ures only in order to filter out sampling and evalua-
tions errors. For the t-s diagrams however in Figs. 3
and 4 the salinity values are shown to three decimal
figures to indicate possible details in the water mass
characteristics. This must however been taken with
great care.
