Figure 2. Mean sea surface values of water properties for the region 10^oN - 10^oS, 160^oW - 140^oW. Since the latitudes for stations were not evenly spaced, the mean station values have been weighted proportionallly to the station spacing. Open circles represent HTSE data, the time axis for which is plotted at the bottom of the figure. Closed circles are from JGOFS, with time scale at the top of the figure.
