MID-PACIFIC  OCEANOGRAPHY,    PART  VIII,    MIDDLE  LATITUDE  WATERS, 

JANUARY-MARCH  1954

This    report    is     concerned      with 
cruise     25    of    the  M/V  Hugh  M.   Smith,     the 
first   of  a   series    of   surveys    planned   to   des- 
cribe the  oceanography  of  the  central  temper- 
ate North  Pacific  by  the  Pacific  Oceanic  Fish- 
ery Investigations,    U.    S.    Fish   and   Wildlife 
Service.       These  studies  are  designed  to   des- 
cribe  the    physical  environment  in  the  region 
north   of  Hawaii   in  connection  with   investiga- 
tions   on   the    albacore   tuna,    Germo   alalunga 
(Bonnaterre).         This    cruise    was    concurrent 
with   fishing   by   the    John  R.    Manning,     cruise 
23,  the  results  of  which  will  appear  separately. 

The  survey,  made  during  January- 
March  1954,  covered  an  area  bounded  roughly 
by   141     and   165   W.   longitude,    and  by  24     and 
38   N.   latitude  (fig.    1).     Serial  measurements 
of  temperature,    salinity,    oxygen,   and  inorgan- 
ic phosphate  were  made  to  a  depth  of  approxi- 
mately 1,200  meters;  quantitative  zooplankton 
collections  were  taken  by  oblique  tows  through 
the  upper  200  meters    and  meteorological  data 
were    recorded.       The    surface    currents    were 
measured   with  the   Geomagnetic  Electrokine- 
tograph  during  part  of  the  cruise.    This  report 
presents  the  tabulated  station  data  (except  for 
the    results    of  the    plankton  collections    which 
will  appear  separately),    meridional  sections, 
and  horizontal  plots  of  oceanic  and  meteorolo- 
gical features,  and  brief  analyses  and  descrip- 
tions of  the  results. 

PROCEDURES 

The    vessel    equipment      and      the 
methods    of   collecting  and  correcting  the    raw 
data   have   been  described  in  previous  reports 
(Cromwell  1951,   Stroup  1954);  the  methods  of 
analysis    of   the  observed  data  leading  to  their 
presentation  as  meridional  sections  have  also 
been  described  in  detail  (Stroup  1954).     In   es- 
sence,    the    analysis    attempts   to   use    all    the 
data    to    achieve    a   comprehensive,    consistent 
description   of   the    distributions  of  the  several 
variables.       In   the    analysis    of   the  individual 
stations,  the  vertical  distribution  of  each  vari- 
able is  referred  to  temperature,   as  this  is  the 
only  quantity  measured  continuously  with  depth. 
Rather  than  analyze  each  station  independently  , 


observed  values    from    nearby     stations      are 
considered   during   the  construction   of  the    sta- 
tion curves.         The  vertical  sections  of  density 
(sigma-t)   distribution    are     influenced    by    the 
structure     of    the     detailed    bathythermograph 
(BT)    temperature    sections,     and   the  sections 
of  the  other  quantities     are    in    turn    influenced 
by  the  sigma-t  distribution,  in  accordance  with 
the  principles  of  isentropic  analysis.       Insofar 
as     possible,     no    quantity    is    considered    inde- 
pendently of  the  over-all  description. 

The  horizontal  plots   (excepting  figs. 

2-4)    are    based    on    a  simple    conic     projection 

o  o 

with    standard    parallels     at  25     and  4  5   N.  ;     the 

distance     scale    is    the     same    as  that  used  in  the 
meridional  sections.     There  is  slight  distortion, 
nowhere     greater    than    about     1  percent,     along 
the   central   and   marginal  parallels    of   latitude  . 
The  horizontal  plots  are  based  on  values  inter- 
polated from  the  station  curves  and,     whenever 
possible,     the    meridional  sections    were  used  to 
determine  the  contour  intervals  between  stations. 

The     meteorology     of     the  region   is 
discussed   in   somewhat   greater    detail   than    in 
previous  reports.     The  storm  tracks  were  taken 
from  the  daily  (1200Z)  surface  weather    charts 
published  by  the  U.   S.    Weather  Bureau.         The 
monthly  positions  of  the  limits  of  the  trades  and 
westerlies  and  the  positions  of  the  "Eastern 
North    Pacific     High"    and    the     "Aleutian    Low" 
(these   are   average,     climatological   features) 
during  the  period  the  cruise  were  obtained  from 
the   monthly  average  charts  supplied  by  the    Ex- 
tended Forecast  Section  of  the  U.   S.    Weather  Bu- 
reau.    The  long-term  average  monthly  positions 
of  these  features  are  from  Technical  Paper   No. 
21,    U.   S.    Weather  Bureau,    "Normal    Weather 
Charts  for  the  Northern  Hemisphere,  "  and  from 
the  U.   S.   Navy  Hydrographic  Office  Pilot  Charts 
for  the  North  Pacific  (H.O.    1401). 

CLIMATE  AND  WEATHER 

The    oceans    are     a    flexible  medium 
whose  circulation,   temperature  structure,    sali- 
nity,   and  dissolved  oxygen  content   are    largely 
dependent  upon  the  exchange  of  energy     between 
the    atmosphere    and    water.       A   discussion   of 


1 


oceanographic    features    of  an  area  should   not 
be    undertaken   without   an  understanding   of  at 
least   the   major   features  of  climate  and  wea- 
ther.        The  general  ocean  currents  are   more 
or    less    directly   produced   by   the   prevailing 
winds   (Sverdrup  194  3,  p.   92) and  hence  should 
show  some  seasonal  changes  as  the  intensity  or 
direction   of  the   winds    change.       Locally,    the 
major    source    of   change  in  the   thermal   struc- 
ture of  the  water  is  the  mixing  induced  by  wind 
waves    or    current  shear  caused  by  local   vari- 
ance  in  wind    stress.       Over  wide  areas,     the 
major    sources    of   change    are  from   variations 
in  the    rate    of  exchange  of  heat  by  conduction, 
evaporation,       precipitation,       and    radiation . 
These  changes  occur  when  water  is  transported 
by  the  general  currents  from  warmer  to  colder 
regions  (low  to  high  latitudes),     or   vice  versa, 
or    when   the    atmospheric    circulation   carries 
air  to  an  ocean  area  having  a  different  temper- 
ature. Extensive    changes  in  salinity   in   the 
open   ocean   can  be  caused  only  by  an   exchange 
of  moisture    with   the   atmosphere.         Thus,  we 
must   consider   features    in  the  atmospheric  or 
oceanic    circulation   which  would  be  conducive 
to  evaporation  from  the  sea,  such  as  the  move- 
ment   of   cold   air    over    warm   water,  or  move- 
ment of  warm  water   to   a   region  of  cooler  air, 
or  features  conducive  to  precipitation,    such  as 
areas    of  frontal   activity  in  the  air.       The  dis- 
solved oxygen   capacity   of   the  sea  is  a  function 
of  temperature,     salinity,     and    vapor    tension, 
as    well   as    pressure,    and  is  therefore  subject 
to  modification    by    the    exchange  of  heat    or 
moisture  that  takes  place  at  the  sea  surface. 

The    mean    monthly    sea      level 
pressure  charts  (U.S.W.B.   1952)  showthatthe 
wind  and  weather  of  the  North  Pacific  are  domi- 
nated   by    a    subtropical      pressure  maximum, 
commonly   known  as  the  Eastern  North  Pacific 
High   or   the   North   Pacific  anticyclone,   and  a 
subpolar  pressure  minimum,   commonly  known 
as  the  Aleutian  Low.         These    features    define 
the  principal  wind  belts.  They  undergo  a  north- 
ward shift   from   winter  to  summer  and   during 
this    migration  the    subpolar    low    diminishes  , 
practically   disappearing  during  June  and  July, 
and    the     subtropical  high  increases     (Namias 
1953,    Byers   1944). 

The  Eastern  North  Pacific  High  is 
the  most  permanent  of  the  climatic  features  of 
the  North  Pacific.  Its  center  is  characterized 
by  light  winds  and  little  or  no  storminess,  but 
its  migration  affects  the  storm  paths  of  the  en- 
tire ocean.  If  the  center  is  displaced  farther 
north  than  normal,  storms  occur  farther  north; 
if  it  is  displaced  farther  south,  the  storms 
sweep  across  the    oceans     at    more  southerly 


latitudes. 

Actually,     the   Eastern  North  Pacific 
High   is    a   great  area  of  subsiding  air.     The  ef- 
fects   of   subsidence    are    most  noticeable  in   the 
eastern   sector   as    a    result   of   air   that   has  de- 
scended   as    it    swept   around   the    cell   from    the 
northwest   and   north.       On   the  south  side,    as  the 
air    joins    the   trades,     it  begins  to  ascend   again 
until  it  reaches  a  high  point  on  the  southwestern 
part   of  the    cell.       On  the    west  side  of   the   cell, 
fronts    may   be    formed   as  the  warmer  air  from 
the    cell   encounters  the  cooler  air  to  the    north. 
As    a    result   of  this     circulation    the     areas     of 
greatest  evaporation  are  likely  to  be  found  to  the 
east  of  the  cell  and  areas  of  greatest  precipitation 
to  the  west. 

The    Aleutian    Low   is    maintained   by 
intermittent  outbursts  of  cold  polar    air   which  is 
steadily    generated  in  the  interior  of  Asia   during 
the   winter   months.         The    greatest   percentage 
(about  70  percent) of  these  outbreaks  occur  in  the 
region   of   Japan,     the  China  Sea,     or  the  Yangtze 
Valley    (Byers    1934).       As    the    cold   air    moves 
over   the    warm    sea   and    encounters    the    warmer 
tropical    air    masses,      strong    cyclonic    vortices 
are    formed.         They   have    well-marked    warm 
fronts    of  advancing  tropical  air  with  open  warm 
sectors  and  well-defined  cold  fronts.    The  normal 
path   of  these  storm  centers  is  in  a  northeasterly 
direction.    In  most  cases  the  fronts  have  occluded 
and  died  out  by  the  time  they  reach  Alaska.  How- 
ever,   they   are    occasionally    regenerated   by    in- 
fluxes   of  cold   air   from   the  Yukon  Valley.     The 
cyclonic    disturbances    tend    to    occur     in   cycles, 
that  is,    large    cyclones  are  followed  by  progres- 
sively   smaller    ones,       each    carrying    the    cold 
front   farther    toward   the    Equator    than   the     pre- 
ceding  one    until   finally  polar  air  flows    directly 
into   the   trade  wind  region.     Precipitation  occurs 
when    the    warm,     moist  air    of   tropical   or    sub- 
tropical   origin   is    forced   to      ascend     over    the 
colder,    denser  air  (Byers    1944). 

During      the      summer      months,     the 
Eastern  North  Pacific  High  is  well  developed  and 
is    the    predominant   climatic  feature  of  the  North 
Pacific.       The    mean  position  of  the  center  of  the 
high   lies    within  the    area   covered   by    cruise  25 
from   April   to   September    and   just  to  the  east  of 
the  area  during  the  remainder  of  the  year.       Con- 
sequently,    the    prevailing  winds  of  the    area  vary 
considerably  from  season  to  season  as  a  result  of 
the  migration  and  fluctuation  of  the  high.     During 
the   period   from  April  to  September,    when  it  has 
its  greatest  development,  strong, steady  northeast 
trade    winds  prevail  over  the  southern  part  of  the 
cruise  area.         The    mean   northern   limit   of    the 
northeast   trades     extends    to     33   N.    latitude    on 


165    W.    during    July   and  August  and   to    36   N. 
on  141°W.   during  August    (U.S.N.H.O.    1401). 
In   the    northern   part  of  the  cruise   area   there 
is    normally   little    or   no   wind    because    of  the 
great  extent  of  the  center  of  the  high. 

During  the  winter  months,  October 
to  March,     when  the    high  is  weak  the  Aleutian 
Low  is  the  predominant  climatic  feature  of  the 
North  Pacific.  In  this  period  the  mean  northern 
limit   of   the  northeast  trade  wind   belt   is  much 
farther    south,     and   the  trade  winds  have  lower 
velocities    and   greater   variation  in    direction 
than   during   the    summer    months.       Its      most 
southern   position   is    between  23    N.   and  24   N. 
latitude  during  November,  February,  and  March 
on  165    W.    longitude,    and  at  the  same  latitudes 
during  November  on  141    W.    longitude   (U.S.N. 
H.  O.    1401).       In   the    northern   part  of  the  area 
the    prevailing    winds    are   westerly  because  of 
cyclonic    circulation   around   the    Aleutian   Low 
and   anticyclonic    circulation   around  the  high  . 
The  mean  position  of  the  southern   boundary    of 
the    westerlies  is  farthest  south  during  January 
and  February,     when   it   is    at   approximately 
30°N.,    from  165°W.    to    155°W.  ,    and  extends 
northeastwardly    to    approximately     34   N.     on 
141    W.    longitude.       The     limits    of    westerlies 
are   not   as    meaningful   as    those    of  the    north- 
east  trades  because  of  the  great  variability  in 
the  paths  and  intensities  of  the  lows  that  sweep 
across  the  North  Pacific. 


normal  charts.       A  composite  of  the  major    fea- 
tures    of    these    charts     is     shown  in  figures     2 
through  4. 

Stations    1    through   28  were  occupied 
January    12  to  31,     during   which   time  the  mean 
surface  pressure  was  very  differ ent  from  normal. 
The    semi-permanent   high,     as    indicated    by   the 
cell  of  greater  than  1,  020-mb.   pressure    (fig,    2), 
was    much   smaller    than    normal   and    centered 
slightly  east  of  its  normal  position.    The  Aleutian 
Low   was    much   weaker    and  more     diffuse    than 
normal;  it  actually  consisted  of  four  small  cells, 
none    of   which   attained   the    usual   depth   of   less 
than  1,000  mb.       These  conditions  are  indicative 
of   a   period   of   relatively   weak   zonal   westerlies 
whose    limits    extend   farther  south   than   normal. 
This     is     shown    in    figure     2    by    the     restricted 
westerly    extent    of  the  approximate  limits  of  the 
westerlies    and   trades    and  the  southerly  shift  of 
the  limits    relative   to   the    mean   position.       The 
weakness    of   the    zonal   circulation   is  also  shown 
by  the  differences  in  the  paths    of  the  lows  which 
had   their    origin  in  the  vicinity  of  Japan   and   the 
large    number    of   lows    that   originated    in    mid- 
ocean.         The  effects  of  the  southerly  shift  in  the 
westerlies    and  the    large    number    of   lows    that 
originated   in   mid-ocean   are    shown  by   the    pre- 
dominance   of   westerly   winds     (fig.    5)    and    the 
number    of   fronts    (fig.     6)   that  were  encountered 
alone    and   between   the  transects    on    165   W.    and 
160   W. 


During   the   winter    months  another 
source    of   storms  that  affect  the  area    covered 
by   Hugh  M.   Smith  cruise  25  is  the  subtropical 
cyclones    which   frequently   develop    near    the 
Hawaiian   Islands    south   of   the  main  stream    of 
the  polar    westerlies.       These  storms,    locally 
known   as    Kona    storms   (Simpson  1952),    form 
as    waves    in   quasi-stationary  cold  fronts  and, 
because  of  their  proximity  to  the  Eastern  North 
Pacific    High,     usually   develop  slowly   or    die 
without  becoming  very  intense.   However,  when 
they  form  as  a  new  or  secondary   front   associ- 
ated  with   a   frontal  system  farther  north,   they 
are   vigorous    and   cause   high   winds  and  heavy 
rainfall. 

The      meteorological      conditions 
during   any   given   period   deviate  considerably 
from   the    average  conditions  described  above. 
The    manner    and   amount   of   the    deviation  and 
its    effect   on  the  actual  conditions  encountered 
is    of   importance    when   considering  oceanogra- 
phic  data.         Therefore,    the  mean  monthly  sea 
level  pressure  charts  (furnished  by  the  U.S.W. 
B.  )    and   the  daily  weather  charts   (prepared  by 
the    U.S.W.B.  ,    Honolulu,    T.   H.  )   for  January 
through   March    1954    were    compared    to    the 


The  general  features  of  the  mean  sea 
level   pressure    chart   for  February,    the  period 
during    which    stations    29    through  63   were  occu- 
pied,    were    similar    to   the    normal  chart  in  most 
respects    (fig.    3).       The  Aleutian   Low  was  about 
normal    in    intensity    and    centered  only  slightly 
southeast  of  its  usual  position,    indicating  that  the 
storms    that    originated   along   the    Asiatic    coast 
were  following  their  usual  pattern.       The  eastern 
North  Pacific    High   was    displaced  slightly  north- 
east  of   its    mean    position   and   was    slightly    less 
intense  than  usual.     The  latter  condition  resulted 
in  a  3-  to  4-degree  southerly  displacement  of  the 
northern   limit   of  the    northeast   trade  wind  belt. 
The  most   marked   departure    from    normal    was 
the  trough  which  occurred  in  the  area  west  of  the 
Hawaiian  Islands;     this  trough   was  the  source  of 
the    storms    which   produced   the    high   winds    and 
fronts    encountered  by  the  Smith  during  February 
(figs.    5  and  6). 

Of  the    three    months    covered   by   the 
cruise  period,     the  mean  surface  pressure   chart 
for  March  1954  (stations    64    through  89  were  oc- 
cupied  between   March    1    and    16)   departed  most 
radically  from  normal  (fig.   4).     The  center  of  the 
Aleutian   Low   was    about   normal   in   position  and 


depth   but   was    much   smaller    in   area.  The 

Eastern   North   Pacific  High  was  centered   500 
to    600   miles    northwest   of,     and   was    equal   in 
area    and    intensity    to,     the   normal   cells  for 
July  and  August.      Inspection  of  the  daily   wea- 
ther maps  showed  that  this  was  the  result  of  a 
series    of   unusually   intense  (up  to     1,047  mb.  ) 
slow-moving  highs  which  began  to  appear  dur- 
ing  the    last   week   of  February   and    continued 
to  occur  during  the  first  three  weeks  of  March. 
As    a   result  of  this  unusual  pressure  distribu- 
tion, the  northern  limit  of  the  northeast  trades 
was    at   about   the    same  position  as  the    normal 
southern  limit  of  the  westerlies.  The  northerly 
migration  of  the  trade   wind   belt   is    also  shown 
by   the    winds    observed  during  the  cruise    (fig. 
5).       The   winds  were  almost  entirely   easterly 
after  station  54,  which  was  occupied  on  Febru- 
ary 23.         The    only   exceptions     were    shifts  of 
short    duration    which    occurred    when    fronts 
passed  over  the  vessel.       As    during   February, 
all   of  the   fronts    were    generated    by    the    lows 
which    formed    in    the    Hawaiian    Islands     area 
(fig.    6). 

CURRENTS 

Geopotential  Anomalies   (Dynamic  Heights) 
and  Geostrophic  Currents 

Since  the  discussion   of  the  various 
fields  of  an  ocean  area  is  more  understandable 
when   the  general  character  of  the  flow  pattern 
has  been  established,     the  geopotential  anoma- 
lies and  the  dynamic  topography  and geostrophic 
currents    will   be    discussed   first.     The    geopo- 
tential  anomalies     in    dynamic    meters    of    the 
standard  isobaric  levels  relative  to  the   1,  000- 
decibar    surface   for  each  north-south   transect 
are    shown    in    figures  7-16,     and    the    dynamic 
topography   of  the    0-,     100-,     200-,    400-,     and 
600-decibar  (m.  )  surfaces  are  shown  in  figures 
17-21. 

Before  discussing  the  circulation 
pattern  depicted  by  these  plots,  a  review  of 
the  assumptions  made  and  procedures  used 
in  their  construction  is  in  order.  In  addition 
to  the  assumption  that  the  1,  000-decibar  sur- 
face is  the  level  of  no  motion,  it  is  assumed 
that  the  cross-sections  and  contours  represent 
a  synoptic  picture,  although  the  time  interval 
between  the  first  and  last  station  was  2  months. 
The  curves  were  drawn  to  fit  the  observed  data, 

and   in   a   few   cases,     such   as    the   trough   in  the 

o  ,  o 

upper   100  meters  between  25      and   26   N.    lati- 
tude on  165    W.   longitude,     features  have    been 
drawn   in   from   differences  in  density  indicated 
by   the    bathythermograph  temperatures.     This 
procedure     gives     a    more     confused      current 


pattern   than   the    usual  smoothed  curves,     but   it 
is  probably  much  closer  to  the  actual  conditions. 
At    stations    31    and   89    and   at  stations    55  and  85, 
which    were     less    than    60   miles    apart   but   were 
occupied    17   to   20    days   apart,     the     heights  and 
positions  were  averaged. 

The  dynamic  topography  of  the  sea 
surface,  figure  17,  shows  that  the  general  flow, 
except  for  the  area  just  north  of  the  Hawaiian 
Islands,  is  in  an  east-southeasterly  direction. 
A  number  of  both  cyclonic  and  anticyclonic  eddies 
are  superimposed  on  this  flow,  the  greatest  num- 
ber    and    most    intense    eddies    occurring  in   the 

northeastern  part  of  the  area.     The  concentration 

r  o 

is    well   to   the    east   of    155   W.   longitude,     where 

the  spacing  of  the  transects  was  reduced  from  5 
degrees  to  2  degrees  of  longitude,  so  they  cannot 
be  merely  attributed  to  the  increase  in  the  station 
concentration.  Neither  can  they  be  attributed  to 
local  winds  or  internal  waves  since  the  largest 
and  most  intense  eddies,  e.g.,  the  large  anti- 
cyclonic  eddy  centered  at  station  66,  were  not 
associated  with  storm  passages  and  extended  over 
two  or  more  stations  or  transects.  In  the  area 
just  north  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands  a  narrow  ridge 

of   greater   than    1.9    dynamic   meters  occurs.    It 

o 
extends    as    far    east   as    155    W.    longitude  and  cor- 
responds   very   closely   to   the    February-March 
position  of  the  center  of  the  Subtropical  Converg- 
ence.!' indicated    on   the   German    Hydrographic 
Office    (prepared   by   Schott)     (Deutsche  Seewarte 
1942)  current  charts. 

The  principal  changes  in  the  dynamic 
topography  with  depth  (figs.  17-21)  are  the  grad- 
ual northward  shift  of  the  ridge  which  delineates 
the  transition  from  eastward  to  westward  flow 
and  the  broadening  of  the  ridge  with  depth.  In  the 
western   part   of  the    area   the   center    of   the  ridge 

shifts  from    just   north  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands  at 

o 
the    surface   to   approximately    30   N.    on  the  600- 
decibar     surface.       To   the    east   it   is    apparently 
south  of  the  area  at  the  surface  and  shifts  rapidly 
to  the  north  below  the   100-decibar  surface  so  that 
it   lies    within  the    area  as  far  east  as   147   W.    on 
the   400-decibar    surface.       A  further  shift  to  the 
north  is  indicated  on  the  600-decibar  surface,  but 
the  two   large   anticyclonic  eddies  break  the  ridge 
into   two   parts  which  correspond  to  the  "Y"  shape 
of    the    Subtropical    Convergence     shown    in      the 
German    Hydrographic     Office    current      chart 
(Deutsche    Seewarte     1942)    and    to    the     lobations 
which    occur     in    the    dynamic    topography    of    the 
Carnegie   data    (Sverdrup   et   al.     1945,    fig.     246). 

—     "Subtropical  Convergence"  refers  to  the 
zone  of  convergence  between  the  easterly  flowing 
water  to  the  north  and  the  westerly  flowing  water 
to  the  south. 


The  persistence    of  these   anticyclonic    eddies 
and   a   large   percentage    of   the    other     eddies 
down   to   the   400-,    600-,     and  even  to  the  800- 
decibar  surfaces,    as  shown  by  the  cross  sec- 
tions,   is  further  indication   that   they   are  part 
of   the    general  circulation  and  not  due  to  local 
or    transient   phenomenon  such  as  wind    shifts 
and  internal  waves. 

A      comparison      of      the      dynamic 
heights  of  the    stations    which    were    occupied 
close   together  in  space  but  at  widely  different 
times     demonstrates    that    the    assumption  of 
steady    state    for   the    cruise  period  gives  a  re- 
alistic concept  of  the  general  circulation.     The 
heights  of  all  surfaces  at  station  85  were  lower 
than   those    of   station    55,     which   was    occupied 
only  2  miles  away   17  days  earlier.      The   cross 
sections    show,     however,     that   the    use    of   the 
heights  of  either,  instead  of  the  average  values, 
would  have  merely  increased  (using  station  85) 
or    decreased    (using  station  55)   the    velocities 
around  the  south  side    of  the  anticyclonic  eddy. 
Figure  9  also  shows  that  although  the  difference 
in  dynamic  heights  between  stations   31    and  89, 
which  were    occupied    33    miles    apart   in   space 
and  34  days  in  time,    was  as  much  as  0.  145  dy- 
namic meters   (at  the  surface),    the   topography 
would   have    been   basically   the    same    if  either 
had  been  used  instead  of  the  average. 

The  geostrophic  current  velocities 
indicated   by   the  spacing  of  the  dynamic  height 
contours  show  that  the  flow  was  very  weak  even 
in   the    well-developed   eddies.      The   maximum 
velocities    at   the    surface    occur    in   the    three 
eddies    centered   on    145    W.   and  are  only  about 
0.4  knot  (20  cm.  /sec.  ).       The  maximum  velo- 
city in  the  general  zonal  (easterly)  flow  at   the 
surface  is  about  0.  2  knot  (10  cm.  /sec.  ).     How- 
ever,   velocities    of   this    magnitude    only   occur 
in  narrow  bands  and  the  average  velocity  would 
be  more  in  the  order  of  0.  1  knot  (5  cm.  /sec,  ) 
or  less.  On   the    subsurface  levels  the  velocities 
fall   off   rapidly   below  100  meters.     The  maxi- 
mum  velocities    of  the  general  zonal  flow   have 
decreased  to  less  than  0.  1  knot  over  the  entire 
area   at   the    200-decibar    surface,     and  in    the 
eddies   they   are    less    than   0.  2    knot    at    200 
decibars  and  less  than  0.  1  knot  at  400   decibars  . 
On   the    600-decibar    surface  the  velocities    are 
less  than  0.  02  knot  (1  cm.  /sec.  )  in  the  general 
cyclonic  flow  through  the  area  and  have  a  maxi- 
mum of  between  0.  04  and  0.  06  knots   (2-3  cm.  / 
sec.  )   in   the    remnants    of   the    two    anticyclonic 
eddies     on     145    W,       These  values    are  well  be- 
low  the    limits  of  accuracy  to  be  expected  from 
the   dynamic    topography   and  show  that  the  use 
of   a   surface    deeper  than  1,000  decibars,    such 


as    the     2,  500-decibar     surface     used    in    the 
Carnegie  Report  (Sverdrup  et  al.    1944-1945),  as 
the    reference    level   would  not  have  made  an   ap- 
preciable   difference    in   the    dynamic    topography 
of  the  upper  levels. 

Geomagnetic  Electrokinetograph  Currents 

Current    measurements     at     30-mile 
intervals     were    made    with    the     Geomagnetic 
Electrokinetograph     (von  Arx  1950)    during     the 
second    part    of    Smith    cruise    25.     The  k-factor 
was  taken  as  unity,    and  correction  was  made  for 
the  droop  of  the  electrodes  following  procedures 
outlined    by    Knauss     (personal    communication, 
see    McGary    1955).     Figure  22  gives  the    results 
together    with   the    dynamic  topography  of  the  sea 
surface    with   respect  to  the   1 ,  000-decibar  level. 

It    is     immediately   evident    that    the 
GEK  is  measuring  what  may  be  considered  a  dif- 
ferent part  of  the  "spectrum"  of  water  movement 
than   that  indicated  by  dynamic  computations;    the 
results    are    extremely   variable    in   direction   and 
attain   considerably   greater    magnitudes    than  the 
geostrophic     currents.       Barnes     and    Paquette 
(1954)   describe     a    very    similar  situation  off  the 
coast  of  Washington;    the  net  (geostrophic)  circu- 
lation  there    is    also   relatively    slow   and  motions 
with    tidal    or    inertial   periods  dominate  the  indi- 
vidual  GEK   measurements.         They   found    that 
calculating    the    data    as    48-hour    running   means 
removed   most    of  these    short-period   variations, 
but   the    results    seemed   to   agree     more   with   the 
local    winds    than   with   the     indicated   geostrophic 
current.     They  concluded  that  the  instrument  was 
measuring  real,  transient,  wind-driven  currents, 
which   are    integrated    into    the    longer-term   net 
flow  indicated  by  the  distribution  of  mass. 

Mr.  JosephReid  at Scripps  Institution 
of  Oceanography    (personal  communication)  found 
that    simple    averaging    of    the     GEK  currents    by 
calendar    days    seemed    to    remove     most    of    the 
short-term   variations    from  measurements  taken 
off  the  coast  of  California,     and  the  averaged  re- 
sults   indeed    show   excellent   agreement   with   the 
geostrophic  currents.  Reid  subsequently  averaged 
the  Smith  25  data  but  the  results  show  little  agree- 
ment   with  the    dynamic   topography  of  the  surface 
relative  to  the   1,  000-decibar  level  (fig.    23)  . 

Comparison  of  the  GEK  currents  with 
the  local  winds  (fig.  5)  shows  no  obvious  relation- 
ship. These  results  are  not  surprising,  consider- 
ing the  complex  nature  of  the  geostrophic  currents 
in  the  area  and  the  large  variations  in  the  wind, 
which  during  much  of  the  time  was  directed 
against  the  geostrophic  surface  current. 


While   we   may   feel   certain   from 
previous    work   that   the   GEK   is    giving  an  in- 
dication of  real  water  motions,    these  motions 
are  apparently  largely  of  a  transient  or  inertial 
character    and   are    difficult  to  relate  meaning- 
fully to  other  data  observed  on  the  cruise. 

DISTRIBUTION  OF  PROPERTIES 

Temperature 

The    temperature    cross     sections 
(figs.  24-33)  were  constructed  from  bathyther- 
mograph observations  taken  at   approximately 
30-mile    intervals.        The   plots  of  the  surface 
temperatures  above  each  cross  section  repre- 
sent   "bucket"  temperatures  from  BT    stations 
supplemented  by  reference  to  recording   ther- 
mograph  traces.     These  north-south  profiles 
were  then  used  to  construct  the  horizontal  plot 
of  the  surface  temperature  (fig.    34). 

The     surface    temperature    plot 
depicts  only  the  gross  features  of  the  tempera- 
ture field.     Thermograph  records   (see  fig.    35 
for  an  example)  show  that  the  general  decrease 
in  temperature  from  south  to  north  occurred  in 
a    series    of  steplike  drops.     These  drops  were 
usually  less  than  1    F.  ,    but   occasionally   were 
as  large  as  4   F.     Frequently   they  occurred  so 
rapidly   that   they   appear  as  vertical  lines    on 
the    thermograph    traces.       The    thermograph 
records    also   show   a   large    number  of  fluctua- 
tions superimposed  on  the  general  trend.  These 
were  generally  of  less  than  1    F.  but  occasion- 
ally attained  an  amplitude  of  3.  5   F.     A  careful 
check   of  the    bucket  temperatures  against  the 
thermograph  showed   these  variations  were  not 
the    result  of  temperature  changes  in  the  engine- 
cooling  water  intake,     where  the  sensitive  unit 
of  the  thermograph   was    located,    except  when 
the    engines  were  stopped.     The  stopping  of  the 
engines    produced    such   distinct  patterns  that 
there  was  no  possibility  of   confusing  them  with 
the   fluctuations    in   the  surface  temperature. 
The   fluctuations    in   the    surface    temperature 
varied   in   horizontal   extent   from   those  which 
were    so    small   that   they   could   barely  be  dis- 
tinguished  from  the  oscillations  caused  by  the 
roll   and   vibration   of   the   vessel   to  the    large 
ones    that   embraced   two    or    more    BT    casts, 
and  which  are  incorporated  in  the   temperature 
profiles. 

When  the  variability  of  the  winds, 
the  season  of  the  year,  the  geographical  position 
of  the  area,  and  the  geostrophic  currents  are 
considered,  the  complexity  of  the  temperature 
field  is  quite  comprehensible.  Similar  varia- 
tions   observed   in   other    areas    (Saelen     1952, 


Mackintosh   1946)  seem  to  be  associated  withone 
or    more    of   the   following    phenomena:       large 
horizontal  velocity  gradients   (shear  zones),     up- 
welling,     convergence,     and   winter  conditions  in 
the  middle  and  higher  latitudes. 

The    general   configurations    of   the 
surface  isotherms   (fig.    34)  were  consistent  with 
the  geostrophic  currents  (fig.   17).  The  isotherms 
which  are  continuous  from  east  to  west  are  rough- 
ly  parallel  to  the  dynamic  height  contours.     The 
tonguelike    pattern   of   the  isotherms  in  the  anti- 
cyclonic  eddies  centered  on  145    W.    longitude  is 
characteristic     of    this     type     of    circulation 
(Sverdrup  and  Fleming   1941).    Many  of  the  warm 
and  cold  cells  occurred   in   areas     of    relatively 
large    horizontal   temperature    gradients.       For 
example,  the  cold  cell  of  less  than  62   F.    cen- 
tered at  32    30'N.    on  160    W.   is  on  the  northern 
side  of  an  area  having  relatively  high  velocities 
and   where  the  curvature  of  the  dynamic  height 
contours  is  cyclonic. 

An  example  of  the  effect  of  local 
wind  mixing  is  illustrated  by  the  tongue  of  less 
than71°F.  at  approximately  23°N.  ,  163°W.  The 
weather  data  (figs.  5  and  6)  show  that  two  cold 
fronts  with  winds  of  over  30  knots  had  passed 
over  the  area  in  rapid  succession  just  before  the 
observations  were  made. 

Charts     of    mean    monthly     surface 

temperatures    (U.   S.   Navy  Hydrographic  Office 

1944,    Robinson   1951)    show    a    large  seasonal 

shift  of  the  mean  position  of  the  isotherms  in  the 

cruise  area.     For  example,    the  mean  position  of 

°  o 

the  65   F.     isotherm   on    150   W.     shifts      from 

42°15'N.    in  August  to  30°15'N.   in  March.     This 
indicates    either  that  normal  winter  cooling,    be- 
cause   of   differences    between   the   air    and    sea 
temperature,     continues    through   March   or  that 
the  flow  through  or  into  the  area  has  a  sufficiently 
large    southerly   component   to  offset  the  heating 
due  to  increased  radiation. 

The   air    temperatures    observed   at 
each   bathythermograph   station   were  plotted  on 
the    temperature    cross    sections   (figs.    24-33)  to 
ascertain   whether    there  was  any  consistent   dif- 
ference   between   the    air    and   sea   temperatures. 
The  plots  show  that  the  air  over  the  southern  part 
of   the    area   was    cooler   than   the   water   for   the 
most  part  but  that  changes    in   the    air  circulation 
frequently  reversed  the  gradient.     The  only   area 
where   the    air  was  consistently  warmer   than  the 
water    was    in  the  extreme  north  and  in  the    area 
between  149    W.   and  153   W.  ,    where   the  geostro- 
phic flow  (fig.    17)  was  southeasterly.       This  tem- 
perature   difference  indicates    that  at  least  some 
of   the    small  surface  temperature   changes    were 


the  result  of  local  heating  or  cooling. 


The    dotted   lines  on  the  horizontal 

plot   of  surface  temperature  (fig.    34)  show  the 

0,0,0  o 

mean  position  of  the  70    ,    65   ,    60    ,    and  55   F. 

isotherms.      They  have  been  interpolated  from 

the    U.S.N.H.  O.    Surface    Temperature    Atlas 

(1944)    to   correspond   to  the  approximate    time 

of    transit    on    each    leg,    thus    permitting    a 

comparison  of  the  temperature  encountered  on 

the  cruise  with  mean  conditions.     The  greatest 

and   most   consistent   difference   from    normal 

occurs  west  of  155    W.  ,  where  all  the  isotherms 

are  farther  north  than  normal.    East  of  155    W. 

the    55    F.    isotherm,     which   is    farther  south 

than  usual,     is    the  only  one  that  is  consistently 

different. 


The    most   significant   features     of 

the     temperature    field    were     several    abrupt 

meridional    changes    of   2    -4   F.       They   are 

shown   by   the    large    gradients    on   the    surface 

temperature    plot    (fig.     34)   and   on   the    surface 

temperature    profiles     (figs.     24-33).  The 

changes    were    sharpest   in  the  western  part  of 

the    area,     where    they    coincided    with     steep 

gradients     in    the    dynamic    topography.      The 

most    striking  example  occurred  on  the   160    W. 

transect,    where    the    thermograph   record  (fig. 

35)     shows    a    rise    (vessel  course  was    180    T.  ) 

from     58    F.   to  60   F.     in    about    4    minutes 

followed   by    a    series  of  more  gradual  rises  to 

almost    63   F.    over   the    following    2   hours  and 

45  minutes.       At  the  8.  5-knot  average  speed  of 

o 
the  Smith  this  represents  a  rise  of  almost  5   F. 

in  25  miles.       According    to    Mackintosh  (1946) 

such    abrupt    changes     in    temperature      are 

characteristic  of  areas  of  convergence  between 

water  masses. 


Major  changes  in  the  vertical 
temperature  structure  were  frequently  associ- 
ated with  surface  temperature  discontinuities. 
At  many,  the  south  to  north  shallowing  of  the 
isotherms  (see  figs.  24-33)  increased  sharply. 
The  increase  in  slope  affected  all  of  the  iso- 
therms instead  of  only  the  shallow  ones,  as  in 
the  case  of  changes  of  slope  which  are  attribu- 
ted to  internal  waves. 


North   of   the    discontinuities    which 
occurred  at  temperatures  of  60   F.    or  less,  the 
homogeneous  surface  layer  was  almost  entirely 
missing,     the   bathythermograph  trace  showing 
either    a   gradual    decrease   to    900   feet   or     a 
series    of   small    steplike    changes.     Again,    the 
phenomenon  was  most  pronounced  in  the  west- 
ern part  of  the  area,    where  the  flow  was  basic- 
ally zonal.     The  BT  traces  from  the  stations  on 
160   W.    have    been   reproduced   in  figure    36  to 


illustrate    the    change    in   their    structure    from 
south   to   north.     Both  the  abrupt   change  in  slope 
of  the    isotherms  and  the  absence  of  a   homogene- 
ous surface  layer  are  characteristic  of  the  zones 
where    mixing    and   sinking  take  place  at  the    con- 
vergence  between  two  water  types   (Sverdrup   and 
Fleming   1941). 

Density 

The    internal   distribution  of  density 
(sigma-t)    in   the    ocean  reflects  both  the  field   of 
motion   and    the    modifying    processes    occurring 
at   the    surface.       The  effect  of  motion  is  seen  in 
the    distributions     of    mass     giving    rise     to    the 
pressure    gradients    associated   with    horizontal 
currents;     by   this    association  an  examination   of 
the  sigma-t  plots  can  yield  a  qualitative  descrip- 
tion of  the  major  features  of  the  circulation.    The 
surface    modifying   processes    directly   affect     a 
relatively  thin  upper  layer,    the  "surface  layer,  " 
keeping  the  layer  nearly  vertically  homogeneous, 
and  causing    large   time   and   space  variations    in 
its  properties. 

Turning   first   to   this    surface    layer 
(fig.     37),     we  can  see  the  general  northward  in- 
crease in  density  associated  with  the  decrease  in 
temperature.       The    meridional  change  in  density 
in   the    area   of   our    sections    is  less  in  the    east; 
this    is    because    water    of   lower    salinity     (more 
northern   origin)    is  present    farther   to   the  south 
in   the    eastern   part  of  the  region.       The  greater 
northward    decrease    in  salinity  here  tends  to  off- 
set  the    decreasing    temperature   in   determining 
the  density  of  the  surface  water. 

The    sections     (figs.    38-47)    show  the 
general   northward   thinning    of   the    surface  layer 
connected    with   the    net   easterly  flow  of  the  North 
Pacific  Current.      The  surface  layer  becomes  ex- 
tremely shallow  at  the  northern  end  of  the  eastern 
sections,     another    indication  that  this  region   is 
influenced   by    more    northerly   conditions    than  the 
western  part  of  the  area.    The  local  irregularities 
and    inversions     to    be     expected   in   this    area   of 
rapidly  changing  conditions  and  slow  water  motion 
are  evident  on  the  sections. 

The    relatively   sharp  density  gradient 
of   the  thermocline  lies  directly  below  the  surface 
layer.       The    sigma-t  surfaces  show  a  net  north- 
ward decrease  in  depth,  again  an  indication  of  the 
easterly  North  Pacific  Current.       At  the  depths  of 
the     surface    layer    and    upper   thermocline    the 
southern  boundary  of  this  current  is  at  or  beyond 
the    southern   limit   of   our    sections,    for   there  is 
no   change    in   the    slope    of  the    upper  thermocline 
to  indicate  a  transition  to  the  westerly  flow  of  the 
North  Equatorial  Current.  The  large  irregularities 


in  the  density  structure  associated  with  the 
eddies  described  previously  may  be  seen  in 
the    sections    at   the    longitudes    of    the    eddies. 

The  depths  of  two  sigma-t  surfaces 
associated   with   the    region   of  the  thermocline 
are  shown  on  horizontal  plots  (figs.  48  and  49); 
the  shallower,     sigma-t    =    25.2,    comes  to  the 
sea    surface    within    the    area   of    the    cruise. 
While    sea   surface    influences     determine    the 
northward   extent   of   this    layer,    both    surfaces 
otherwise    reflect  the  circulation  indicated   by 
theplots  of  dynamic  topography  at  these  depths. 
The    complex   region   of   eddies  is  seen     in   the 
eastern   part   of  the    area,    while  the  northward 
shift  with  depth  of  the  boundary  of  the  westerly 
North   Equatorial   Current  is  noticeable  in   the 
southwest  corner    of  the    area   on    the    deeper 
(sigma-t   =    26.  0)    surface.      In  general,    there 
is  more  detail  of  the  circulation  evident  on  the 
sigma-t  surfaces  than  in  the  smoothed  dynamic 
topographies. 

The     deeper    portions     of      the 
meridional  sections  (figs.  38-47)  show  a  north- 
ward 9hift   with   increasing  depth  of  the  trough 
in   the    isopleths    marking   the  transition   from 
easterly  to  westerly  zonal  flow.  The  topography 
of  the  sigma-t   =    26.  8  surface  (fig.    50),     which 
corresponds  closely  to  the  position  of  the    deep 
layer    of   minimum    salinity  of  northern  origin, 
again  closely  resembles  the  indicated  geostro- 
phic   circulation  at  similar  depths;  the  current 
is  slow,    turning  broadly  back  toward  the  west, 
with  southerly  flow  through  a  large  part  of  the 
area. 

Salinity 

In   the    surface    layer    (fig.     51)  the 
major  features  are  the  region  of  salinity  maxi- 
mum  in   the    latitudes    of  the  southern  edge    of 
the  cruise  area  and  the  rapid  decrease  in  sali- 
nity  northward   from   this    region,    particularly 
in   the    east.       The  maximum  is  formed  by   the 
excess    of   evaporation   over     precipitation    in 
these    latitudes    and   is    distributed   in   a   broad 
zonal  band  by  the  currents   (Jacobs   1951).     The 
water   to   the  north  of  the  cruise  area  is  partly 
of   northern   origin   and  is  low  in  salinity;    be- 
tween  is    the    area    of    transition   characterized 
by  a  large  meridional  salinity  gradient.       This 
gradient   is    not   smooth,     but  reflects  the  irre- 
gularities (such  as  the  eddies)  in  the  circulation. 

Below  the  surface  layer  a  deep 
salinity  minimum  (400-600  m.)  is  evident  on 
all  the  sections  (figs.  52-61),  with  a  second 
shallow  minimum  appearing  in  the  northeast 
part    of    the    area.        The     deep    minimum, 


characteristic    of  the    greater    part     of    the     sub- 
tropical  and   temperate    Pacific,     is     probably 
maintained  by  water  formed  in  the  northwest,     in 
the  convergent  region  between  the    Kuroshio    Ex- 
tension and  the    Oyashio    (Sverdrup   et   al.     1942). 

The    shallow   minimum   occurring    in 
the  northeastern  part   of  the    cruise    area     seems 
to   be    formed   by  surface  convergence.       Figures 
62  to  64    give  the  depth,     salinity,     and  sigma-t  at 
the  level  of  this  minimum,  and  show  its  southern- 
most   extent.         The  flow  is  mostly  parallel  to  the 
isohalines,      and   the    depths    indicate  that  part    of 
the  region  of  origin  is  close  to  or  at  the  northern 
edge     of    the    cruise     area.       The    widely  varying 
values  of  sigma-t  suggest  that  considerable    non- 
isentropic  mixing  is  occurring  at  these  relatively 
shallow    depths,     and   also   doubtless    reflect    ir- 
regularities   in   the   formation  of  the  minimum  at 
the     surface.       This    shallow  minimum  was    men- 
tioned by  Sverdrup  et  al.     (1942,    fig.    202  and   p. 
723)  and  is  apparently  characteristic  of  this  area. 
The  waters  of  the  upper  minimum  turn  toward  the 
south   with   the    general   circulation.       More  com- 
plete   station   coverage,    especially   to  the  east  of 
the  Smith   cruise    25    area,    is  needed  to   describe 
the   formation   and    distribution  of  this  minimum. 

The    salinity  distribution   is  shown  on 
the   three  sigma-t  surfaces    discussed  in  the  sec- 
tion on  density  (figs.  65-67).  On   the  two  shallower 
surfaces    the    isohalines  very  roughly  parallel  the 
geostrophic  flow  at  these  depths,    with  irregulari- 
ties   particularly   noticeable   in   the    eddy    region. 
The  shallowest  surface,    sigma-t   =    25.2,    is  still 
somewhat   within   the    direct   influence    of   the    sea 
surface    and   shows    the    greatest    variations     in 
salinity.       On   the    intermediate  surface,    sigma-t 
=  26.  0,    the  southward  extension  of  low  salinity  in 
the    east   is    connected   with   the    intrusion   of    the 
upper     salinity    minimum,     which    is     centered 
slightly   above  this  sigma-t  surface    (see  fig.    64). 

On  the  deep  surface,  sigma-t  =  26.8, 
very  nearly  coinciding  with  the  center  of  the  deep 
salinity  minimum,  the  34.00  /oo  isohaline  lies 
across  the  flow.  The  flow  here  is  very  weak, 
however,  and  the  salinity  changes  are  small;  the 
downstream  salinity  increase  is  the  result  of 
vertical  mixing  and  diffusion. 

Temperature  -Salinity  Relationships 

Although  it  is  not  within  the  scope  or 
intent  of  this  report  to  enter  into  a  detailed  dis- 
cussion of  the  temperature-salinity  relationships 
from  the  standpoint  of  the  origin  of  the  water,  they 
do  help  clarify  the  circulation.  The  curves  for  the 
160°W.,  155°W.  ,  147°W.,  andl41°W.  transects 
have    been   combined  in  single  plots    (figs.    68-71) 


in  order  to  depict  the  salient  features  of  the 
latitudinal  and  longitudinal  changes.  The  limit- 
ing T-S  curves  of  the  three  water  masses  into 
which  the  waters  of  the  North  Pacific  are 
commonly  divided  (Sverdrup  et  al.  1942)  are 
included  in  each  plot  for  comparative  purposes. 

In  the  western  part  of  the  area 
(160  W.),  the  curves  lie  along  the  lower  sali- 
nity limit  of  the  Western  North  Pacific  Central 
Water  (fig.  68),  except  in  the  upper  100-200  m. 
and  at  temperatures  of  less  than  8  C.  at  sta- 
tions 3  and  28.  At  8  C.  ,  the  temperature  at 
which  the  curves  delineating  the  lower  salinity 
limits  of  the  Eastern  Central  Pacific  Water 
and  the  Western  North  Pacific  Water  intersect, 
stations  3  and  28  depart  abruptly  from  the 
other  curves  and  follow  the  Eastern  North 
Pacific    Central  Water. 

At    the     shallower    depths     along 
160   W.    the  interval  between  stations  22  and  23 
(fig.    68)    is   the    transition   zone    between     the 
southern    stations    which    have  a  salinity    maxi- 
mum  at   or    near    the    surface    and  the    northern 
stations    which  have    a  minimum  at  or  near   the 
surface.    The  shallow  maximum  at  the  southern 
stations     is     characteristic    of  a    region    where 
evaporation  produces  an  increase  in  salinity  at 
the     surface,     causing    the    water   to   sink    and 
spread   out   at   an   intermediate    depth.     Instead 
of   showing    a   gradual   shift  toward  lower    tem- 
peratures   and   salinities,    the  surface    portion 
of  the  curves  for  the  northern  stations  show  an 
uneven  change  in  temperature-salinity  relation- 
ships.      The    small   changes  (e.g.,    sta.    17-18) 
correspond   to   and   account   for    the     relatively 
level    zones    in  the  dynamic  heights.     The  large 
changes  (e.  g.  ,  sta.  18- 19)  represent  transitions 
between   waters    of   slightly   different   type   and 
correspond   to    zones    of   relatively    large    geo- 
strophic  currents.    The  irregular  shift  between 
the    curves    leads    to   the    conclusion    that    the 
decreased    temperature     and    salinity    in    the 
surface     layers    are    the     result    of    masses  of 
water  of  more  northerly  origin,     that  is,    water 
containing   greater     percentages     of    Subarctic 
Water,   being  driven  into  the  area  by  the  winter 
westerlies  instead  of  being  simply  the  result  of 
latitudinal   changes    of  temperature  and  rate  of 
precipitation  or  evaporation. 

Moving   east   to    155°W.     (fig.     69), 

the    curves    form   a   less  compact  band  but  still 

lie    just   below   the    lower    salinity   limit   of    the 

Western   North    Pacific    Central   Water,    except 

o 
at   temperatures    of   less    than   7   C.  ,    and   in  the 

surface    water    (upper   100-200  m.  ).       At     tem- 
peratures   of  less  than  7   C.   the  curves    do   not 
follow   the    standard   curves  as  closely   as   they 


did  on  160   W.     The  discontinuity  between  the  twoi 
southern   stations    (31  and  32)    and  the    remainder 
of  the  stations  is  not  as  pronounced  as  on  160   W.  , 
the    maximum    difference    amounting    to    only 
0.  1      /oo.  In  the  surface  waters  the  abrupt  change 
in   the    shape  and  position  of  the  curves  indicating 
the   transition   from   the  southern  stations    having 
a    salinity  maximum   at   or    near    the  surface  and 
the  northern  stations  with  a  minimum  at  the  sur- 
face  occurs    between   stations  37  and  38.    Again 
the    sharp   changes    between   the    two   groups      of 
stations    and   within   the    groups     correspond    t  o 
zones    of   relatively    large    geostrophic      current 
velocities. 

The     147°W.     transect     (fig.       70) 
intersects    the  complex  eddy  system  in  the  north- 
east   part    of    the    area,     so   the    changes    in    the 
temperature -salinity    relationships     reflect    the 
complex   circulation  around  the  eddies  as  well  as 
the   expected   changes    with   latitude.       Except   for 

station  58,    the  curves  along   147    W.   form  a  com- 

o  „o 

pact   band   between    7      and    10   C.     just   below    the 

lower  salinity  limits  of  the  Western  North  Pacific 
Central  Water.  For  the  most  part  below  7  C.  the 
salinity  shows  a  gradual  decrease  at  a  given 
temperature  from  south  to  north  with  occasional 
slight  reversals.  As  can  be  seen  from  the  plot, 
the  difference  between  the  curve  for  station  82, 
the  southernmost  station,  and  those  of  the  adjoin- 
ing stations  was  the  only  one  consistent  enough  to 
indicate  a  change  in  water  mass. 

At   temperatures    greater   than     10   C. 
along  147   W.  there  is  a  sharp  shift  in  temperature- 
salinity    relationships    between     southern       and 
northern   stations,     the    change  occurring  between 
stations     55    and     56.       Considering   the    southern 
stations,    the  only  significant  change  is  a  shift  be- 
tween   17   C.    and    10   C.    from   the    lower    salinity 
limit    of   the    Eastern  North  Pacific  Central  Water 
to  just  below  the  lower  limit  of  the  Western  North 
Pacific  Central  Water.       The  reason  for  the  shift 
and   the   correspondence  of  the  curves  to  Eastern 
North    Pacific    Central   Water  above   10   C.    is  ap- 
parent from  the  slight  secondary  salinity  minimum 
which    occurs    at   about    14    C.    at    stations    84,    85, 
and    55.     This  indicates  that  there  is  a  subsurface 
influx   of   less    saline   water  centered  at  about   the 
25.  6  sigma-t   surface.       The   extent  and  possible 
origin  of  the  minimum  is  discussed  in  the    section 
on  salinity. 

Because    of  the   confused    circulation 

resulting  from  the  eddies  there  are  no  systematic 

shifts  among    the     surface    portions     of    the     T-S 

o 
curves   at  the    northern  stations    on  147   W.      For 

example,     the    salinities    at   all   temperatures     at 

station    58   were    less   than   those   at    59    and    less 

than   those    at    60    at    temperatures     below      1 1    C. 


The  most  pronounced  difference  between  these 
northern  stations  and  those  from  farther  west 
is  the  presence  of  the  salinity  minimum  at  100 
to  230  meters  (see  fig.  62)  instead  of  at  the 
surface. 

On     141°W.     (fig.     71),     the    most 
easterly  transect,   the  curves  had  two  common 
features:      all,     except    79,   formed  a   compact 
band  between   6.5   C.   and  8.  5   C.  ,    and  all  had 
a  deep  and  a  shallow  salinity  minimum.     As  in 
the  deeper  water  of  the  western  sections,  sali- 
nity gradually  increased  from  north  to  south  at 
temperatures  less  than  6.5   C.       Again  the  dif- 
ference   between    the    southernmost    station, 
station  79,    and  the  adjoining  station  was  suffi- 
cient  to   indicate   a   distinct   change   in    water 
mass. 

At  temperatures  greater  than 
8.5  C.  there  were  three  abrupt  shifts  among 
the  curves.  The  most  pronounced  was  between 
stations  75  and  76,  but  there  was  such  a  large 
space  and  time  interval  between  these  stations 
because  of  heavy  weather  that  the  sharpness 
and  position  of  the  break  is  suspect.  South  of 
station  76  the  curves  lie  just  below  the  mini- 
mum of  Eastern  North  Pacific  Central  Water, 
a  slight  decrease  in  salinity  from  the  southern 
stations  of  147  W.  North  of  station  75  the  in- 
flux of  Subarctic  Water  is  again  apparent  from 
the  large  differences  among  the  curves.  All 
of  these,  except  between  stations  72  and  73, 
correspond  to  changes  in  the  dynamic  topogra- 
phy along  the  transect.  If  the  contours  of  the 
dynamic  topography  at  the  surface  are  traced 
to  the  west  (upstream),  the  more  northerly 
origin  of  the  surface  water  at  station  72  is 
obvious. 

Dissolved  Oxygen 

The  dissolved  oxygen  content  of  the 
ocean  provides   an   additional  tool  for   tracing 
the    origin  and   movements     of    water    masses. 
It    is    absorbed    at  the    sea   surface  in   amounts 
dependent  upon  the  salinity  and  temperature  of 
the   water    and  the  pressure,     which   is    usually 
considered   to   be    standard    (1,013  mb.  ),     and 
moisture   content   of   the   air,     which   is    usually 
neglected.   Below  the  euphotic  zone,    biological 
processes  lead  to  the  consumption  of  oxygen  so 
that  the   processes    of  diffusion   and    advection 
must   be    such   that,    if  the  oxygen  content  of  the 
deeper    layers    remains    constant,    they  lead  to 
a  replenishment   that  exactly  balances    the  con- 
sumption (Seiwell  1937). 

The        longitudinal        profiles        of 
dissolved   oxygen   are    shown   in  figures    72-81, 


the  horizontal  plot  at  10  m.   in  figure  82,    and  the 
distribution  on  the  26.  8  sigma-t  surface  in  figure 
83.       The  isopleths  of  percentage  saturation  have 
been   included   on   some    of  the  plots  to    show   the 
degree  of  depletion  of  the  subsurface  oxygen  and 
hence   the    implied   direction   of  movement,    if  the 
consumption   is    assumed  to  be  independent  of  the 
oxygen  content  until  it  is  nearly  depleted  (ZoBell 
1940).       The    saturation   values    used   to   compute 
the   percentages    were    taken   from   Fox's    tables 
(Harvey   1928),    which   were   computed  on  the    as- 
sumption that  sometime  during  the  past  the  water 
had  been  at  the  surface  in  contact  with  dry  air  at 
normal    pressure     (1013.3  mb.  )   at   the    in    situ 
temperature  and  salinity. 

The     10-m.     samples     were     used   to 
depict  the  dissolved  oxygen  content  at  the  surface 
because  the  surface  Nansen  bottle  was  frequently 
in   the   turbulent   area   around   the    hull   when    the 
vessel   was    rolling   heavily.       The  distribution  of 
dissolved   oxygen   on  the    10-m.    surface   (fig.  82) 
followed  the  pattern  indicated  by  the  temperature 
and   salinity   fields.       The   highest  oxygen   values 
were   at   the    northern   edge  of  the  area  where  the 
lowest  temperatures  and  salinities  were  observed, 
and   the    least  oxygen  in  the  area  just  north  of  the 
Hawaiian  Islands,  where  the  highest  temperatures 
and  salinities  were  observed. 

The  profiles  of  dissolved  oxygen  (figs. 
72-81)    show   that   the   pattern  of  the  vertical  dis- 
tribution  is    basically   the    same    over   the    entire 
area.       It   consists    of   a   surface    layer    of  almost 
uniform  content,  a  layer  of  small,  variable  nega- 
tive gradient,  a  layer  of  large  and  almost  uniform 
negative    gradient,     and   in   a  few  of  the  sections  a 
layer    in   which   the    negative    gradient    decreases 
and   changes    to   a   positive    gradient.      The  latter 
does    not   occur    in   all   of  the    sections,    since   the 
oxygen   minimum   was    below    1,  000  m.   in  a  large 
number  of  cases   (see  observed  data). 

As  expected,  at  each  station  the 
surface  layer  of  almost  uniform  dissolved  oxygen 
content  corresponded  to  the  layer  of  uniform  den- 
sity resulting  from  wind  and  advective  mixing. 
In  almost  all  cases  the  values  in  this  layer  were 
within  -0.05  ml.  /I.   of  the   10-m.   value. 

Instead  of  a  rapid  decrease  in  the 
dissolved  oxygen  content  just  below  the  surface 
layer,  such  as  occurred  in  the  temperature  and 
density  fields,  there  was  a  layer  of  small  and 
variable  negative  gradient  between  the  surface 
and  the  band  of  large  negative  gradient.  The 
cross  sections  (figs.  72-81)  show  that  the 
4.  5-ml.  /I.  isopleth,  which  varies  between  300- 
550  m.  in  depth,  approximates  its  lower  limit. 
It   is   deepest   between    30     and    32   N.    or    at  about 


10 


the    same    latitude    as  the  ridge  in  the  dynamic 
topography   of   the   deeper    isobaric     surfaces. 
In   the    southern   part   of  the    area   there    are  a 
number     of    inversions,     such    as     the   cell  of 
greater   than   5.  5    ml.  /I.    which  is  centered  at 
150  m.    at  31°00'N.    on  147°W.       Further  indi- 
cations   of   the    variability   of   either  the  oxygen 
consumption   or   the    mixing   in   this    layer    are 
shown  by   the   lack   of   similarity    between    the 
oxygen  profiles  and  the  sigma-t  profiles   (figs. 
38-47)  and  the  abrupt  departure  of  the  percent- 
age of  saturation  isopleths  on   165   W.    (fig.    72) 
from  the  oxygen  isopleths  in  the  southern  part 
of  the  area. 

The  layer  having  an  almost  uniform 

bat   large    negative    gradient,     up  to  2.  0  ml.  /I. 

per   100   m.  ,     extends    down   to   the     1.5-ml. /I. 

o  o 

isopleth      on      160         and      165    W.     and    to    the 

1.  0-ml.  /I.    isopleth  over  the  remainder  of  the 
area.       The  sigma-t  (figs.    38-47)  and  percent- 
age of  saturation  isopleths  are  basically  paral- 
lel to  those  of  dissolved   oxygen   in   this     zone, 
indicating  that  the  rate  of  consumption  and  re- 
plenishment via  diffusion  and  lateral    mixing 
must  be  in  equilibrium.     The  most  interesting 
feature  of  this  layer  is  that  it  also  contains  the 
deep    salinity    minimum.       The   center     of    the 
salinity   minimum   fluctuates    between  the    3.0- 
and    the    4.  0-ml. /I.     (02)     isolines.  This 

variation  is  probably  due  to  the  difficulty  of 
locating  the  center  of  the  minimum  on  the  sta- 
tion because     of    the     small    salinity    gradients. 

The      decrease      in      the     dissolved 
oxygen  gradient  below  the   1.  0-  and  1.  5-ml.  /I. 
surfaces  and  its  final  shift  to  a  positive  gradi- 
ent resulted  in  a  minimum  which,    as  reported 
by   Sverdrup   et  al.     (1942,    p.    729),     was    about 
400-500    m.   below  the  deep  salinity  minimum. 
Because    of   the    great  thickness  of  the  band  of 
water    with    low   oxygen  content,    the  large    spa- 
cing  of  the   bottles    at  the  depth  at  which  it  oc- 
curred,   and  the  fact  that  it  was  not  reached  by 
the   1 ,  000-m.   casts  on  the  northern  part  of  the 
two  westernmost  transects   (stations  7-25),   no 
attempt  has  been  made  to  contour  it.   However, 
sufficient   data   were    available  to   show   that   a 
line    drawn  through  the  minimum  between  sta- 
tions 7  and  75  would  approximate  the  1,  000-m. 
contour.    The  deeper  values  were  to  the  north- 
west  and   the    shallower   to  the  southeast,    indi- 
cating that  the  depth  of  the  minimum  tended  to 
decrease  from  northwest  to  southeast. 

The  isopleths  of  the  oxygen  content 
at    the    minimum    had    a    radically    different 
pattern   from    its    depth    contours.     The    lowest 
values  formed  a  tongue  of  less  than  0.4  ml.  /I. 
which    entered    the    area    between    stations    62 


and  75  and  extended  in  a  west-southwest  direction 
as    far   as    stations    54,   47,    and  48.       The  highest 
minimal   values    formed   a   tongue    of   greater  than 
1.0  ml.  /I.    which   entered   the   area  between   sta- 
tions   4   and    5   and   extended   eastward    as    far  as 
station  28. 

The   only   sigma-t   surface     on    which 
there   was    a    significant   difference    between    the 
sigma-t   and   the    dissolved   oxygen  contours    was 
the    26.8    surface    (fig.     83).       On  this  surface  the 
oxygen   decreases    in  the    direction  of  flow,   indi- 
cating  that   oxygen  is.  either   being  consumed  by 
biological  activity  or  depleted  by  diffusion.     Evi- 
dence of  the  latter  is  shown  by  the  decrease  along 
the    600-m.    contour    from    3.01  ml. /I.   at  station 
47  to  2.06  ml.  /I.   at  station  28,    while  in  contrast 
the  oxygen  minimum  increases  from  0.  37  ml.  /I. 
to  1.02  ml.  /I. 

Dissolved  Inorganic  Phosphate 

The    primary    purpose    of     making 
dissolved  inorganic  phosphate  determinations  was 
to  determine  if  there  had  been  divergence  or  con- 
vective  mixing  in  any  part  of  the  area  of  sufficient 
magnitude   to   bring  nutrients  to  the  surface  layer 
in   excess    of  the  utilization  by  biological  activity. 
The    secondary   purpose  was  to  map  the  vertical 
distribution  of  the  nutrients.    The  surface  values 
are    shown  in   figure    84    and   the    cross    sections, 
except  for  the   155   W.  transect,  in  figures  85-93. 
The   profile  for   155    W.    was  omitted  because  the 
Automatic   Servo-Operated   Photometer   was   not 
functioning    properly   between  stations   30  and  38, 
and   the    resulting   data   were   too   erratic    to    be 
considered  reliable. 


Although   most   of  the    surface    values 
(fig.    84)   were   near    or  below  the  lower  limit   of 
accuracy  (about  0.  4  ug.    at.  /I.  )  of  the  molybdenum- 
blue   method   of   determining    dissolved   inorganic 
phosphate     (Wooster    and   Rakestraw    1951),     the 
consistency   of  the    distribution    with    the    other 
fields    indicates    that   they  portray   a  valid   picture 
of  the  distribution.     As  expected  from  the  Carne- 
gie data  (Sverdrup  et  al.    1945),    the  surface  phos- 
phate content   decreased   from   north   to    south   on 
all  sections. 

When  the  surface  phosphate  distribution 
(fig.     84)    is    compared   to    the    temperature    and 
salinity    fields,     it    is     evident   that   the    southerly 
shift   from    summer    conditions  is  not  entirely   the 
result    of    convective    mixing    induced    by    winter 
cooling  and  increased  wind  mixing.   In  the  north- 
western  part   of   the    area,     where    the     southerly 
shift   of  the    westerlies    is    normally    the  greatest, 
the      surface      phosphates      were      the      largest. 


11 


However,    instead   of  the   deep,    homogeneous 
surface  layer  that  should  result  from  increased 
wind  mixing  and  convective  overturn,  there  was 
virtually  none  (figs.  24-33  and  36)  in  this  area, 
indicating  that  some  other  mixing  forces  must 
be  involved. 

Comparison  with  the  temperature, 
salinity,     and   dynamic    topography    shows  that 
the  large  horizontal    gradients    in  surface  PO4 
correspond  to    sharp   changes    in   these   fields. 
Again  using  the  160   W.  section  as  an  example, 
the   phosphate    increased  from  0.  17  ug.    at.  /I. 
at    station   21    to   0.40  ug.   at. /I.   at  station   20, 
and  from  0.  36  ug.   at.  /I.   at  station  19  to  0.  55 
Ug.   at.  /I.   at  station  18,    corresponding  to   ab- 
rupt  changes    in   surface    temperature    (figs. 
24-34),    distinct  shifts  in  the  T-S  curves  (fig. 
68),    and  zones  of  relatively  large  geostrophic 
currents  (fig.  17).  In  addition,  the  temperature- 
salinity   relationships    (figs.    68-71)    show  that 
the  surface  waters  of  the  northwest  part  of  the 
area  contain  less  water  of  northern  origin  than 
the   water    at   the    same    temperatures    farther 
east.       This    indicates    that  mixing  as  a  result 
of  turbulence   in  the   areas  of  relatively  large 
horizontal  current  shear  in  the  transition  zone 
between    waters     of    slightly    different    type 
(Sverdrup   et   al.     1942,    p.   472)   contributes  to 
the    enrichment   of  the    surface    water    and   ac- 
counts for  the  largest  surface  phosphate  values 
being  in  the  northwestern  part  of  the  area. 


The  isolated  cell  of  greater  than 
0.2  ug.  at. /I.  centered  at  about  30  N.  on 
165   W.     (fig.    84)    is  based  on  the  observations 


from  a  single  station.     However,   it  is  probably 
real    since,    in  addition  to  the   relatively  large 
horizontal   velocity   gradients    and   divergence  in 
the    surface    currents  indicated  by  figure   17,   the 
station   was    occupied   during    a   period    of    high 
winds   (Beaufort  force  7)  (fig.    5). 

In  the  southeastern  part  of  the  area, 
the  0.  1  ug.    at.  /I.    contour    is   drawn  as  a  dotted 
line  to  show  that  there  was  little  or  no  phosphate 
in  the  surface    waters.        Further    evidence      of 
barrenness    in   this    area  was  the  deep  blue  color 
of  the  water  (see  table   1). 

The  vertical  distribution  of  dissolved 
inorganic  phosphate  is  shown  in  figures  85-93. 
As  expected,  its  pattern  is  almost  the  opposite 
to  that  of  the  dissolved  oxygen.  At  the  surface, 
except  in  the  areas  of  large  horizontal  velocity 
gradient  mentioned  above,  there  is  a  layer  in 
which  the  concentration  is  relatively  low  and  uni- 
form. Below  this  layer  the  phosphate  increases 
rapidly  and,  in  general,  uniformly  with  depth  to 
about  the  2.  8  ug.  at.  /I.  isopleth,  and  the  trend 
continues  until  a  maximum  of  between  3.  00  and 
3.  86  ug.  at.  /I.  is  reached  at  about  the  same 
depth  as  the  oxygen  minimum. 

Water  Transparency 

Whenever  the  sea  and  weather 
conditions  permitted,  water  color  determinations 
according  to  the  Forel  scale  and  transparency 
observations  by  means  of  a  Secchi  disk  (Sverdrup 
et  al.  1942,  p.  82)  were  made  immediately  after 
the    hydrographic    cast.       Only      13     reliable

observations  (table  1)  were  obtained  because 
even  in  good  weather  the  rolling  motion  of  the

DISCUSSION 

Many  of  the  similarities  and 
differences  between  the  circulation  pattern  and 
the  distribution  of  the  various  chemical  and 
physical  fields  observed  on  this  cruise  and 
those  described  by  previous  writers  have  been 
discussed  in  the  description  of  these  fields. 
Most  of  the  differences  can  be  attributed  to  the 
fact  that  many  of  the  previous  discussions  have 
been  either  based  on  data  taken  during  summer 
months,  e.g.,  Carnegie  data  (Sverdrup  et  al. 
1945),  or  have  been  based  on  averages  from 
data  taken  over  a  number  of  years,  e.  g.  , 
(Schott's  current  chart)(Deutsche  Seewarte  1942^ 

The  most  comprehensive  summary 
of   the  general  features  of  the  physical  oceano- 
graphy of  the  cruise  area  was  given  by  Sverdrup 
in  his  discussion  of  the  water  masses  and  cur- 
rents    of    the    oceans     (Sverdrup    et    al.      1942, 
Sverdrup   1943).    According  to  his  charts  of  the 
water  masses  and  mass  transport  of  the  North 
Pacific    (Sverdrup   et   al.    1942,    figures   196  and 
205,    and  chart  VII),    the   cruise  covered  one  of 
the   most   complex  areas    of  the  North   Pacific, 
including  the  broad  transition  zone  between  the 
Western   and   Eastern    North    Pacific    Central 
Water   masses    and  the  transition  zone  between 
these    water    masses    and   the    Subarctic  Water. 
Under    average    conditions     the     cruise    area 
should    have    included    parts     of    the     following 
major   components    of  the  North  Pacific    circu- 
lation:     the    North    Equatorial    Current,     the 
North    Pacific     Current,     the     Subtropical  Con- 
vergence, the  Arctic  Convergence  or  the  North 
Polar    Front,    and   the    Eastern  Gyral   or    Gyre. 

The  North  Equatorial  Current  is 
the  name  given  to  the  westerly  flowing  current 
in  the  lower  north  latitudes  of  the  central 
Pacific.  The  geostrophic  currents  indicated  by 
the  dynamic  topography  (fig.  17-21)  show  only 
a  small  area  of  westerly  flow  just  north  of  the 
Hawaiian  Islands,  the  northerly  limit  of  which 
shifts  slightly  to  the  north  with  depth.  Within 
the  westerly  flow,  except  for  the  small  cell  of 
>0.  2  (xg.  at.  /I.  of  inorganic  phosphate  at  the 
surface  at  station  3  (fig.  23),  there  is  no  evi- 
dence of  mixing,  other  than  normal  diffusion, 
of  sufficient  magnitude  to  cause  enrichment  of 
the  euphotic  zone  (upper  80-100  m.  ).  Station 
3  is  just  north  of  Kauai,  and  the  slightly  higher 
phosphate     content     of    the     surface     here     was 


probably   the    result  of  the  turbulence    induced  by 
the  flow  around  the  islands. 

The     Subtropical     Convergence      has 
already   been   defined    (page    4)    as     the     zone     of 
convergence   between  the    easterly   flowing   water 
to  the  north,     the  North  Pacific  Current,     and  the 
westerly   flowing   water   to   the    south,     the   North 
Equatorial   Current.       The    position,     northerly 
shift,    and  broadening  of  the  transition  zone   with 
depth   have    already  been   pointed  out.       The  rela- 
tively  large    horizontal    sigma-t    gradients    at  the 
surface    (fig.     37)    illustrate   the    rapid    poleward 
increase    in   density    of  the  upper  layers  which  is 
associated    with    the    Subtropical    Convergence 
(Sverdrup  et  al.    1942,    p.    140).       The  occurrence 
of  the    salinity   maximum   at   the     surface    in    the 
area  (figs.    51  and  52-61)  indicates  that  it  is  part 
of  the  source  of  the  subsurface  salinity  maximum 
found   in   the    lower    latitudes    of  the  central  North 
Pacific.       Thus,     it   is    an  area  of  subsidence  and 
should  be  unproductive.     This  is  borne  out  by  the 
low  phosphate  content  of  the  surface  waters   (figs. 
84  and  85-93). 

The    North    Pacific     Current    is     the 
name    applied   to   the    general    eastward    flow    of 
warm   water    to   the    east   of    160   E.         It     s  e  n  d  s 
branches   to   the    south,     and  normally  the  greater 
part  has  turned  south  before  reaching   150   W.    so 
that   only   a    small   portion  flows  south  to  the  east 
of   the   Hawaiian   Islands.       The    similarity    of  the 
T-S   curves    from   the    western  part  of  the  area  to 
those  of  the  western   North  Pacific  Central  Water 
(figs.     68-71)   is    evidence    that  the  band  of  south- 
easterly  flowing   water    whose  northeastern  limit 
is  approximated  by  the   1.  72-dynamic-meter  con- 
tour at  the  surface  (fig.    17)   is  a  southern  branch 
of  this   North   Pacific  Current  which  has  penetra- 
ted farther  east  than  normal.     This  was  probably 
the    result   of  the    southeasterly  shift  of  the  limits 
of   the    westerlies    and   trades,     which  the  January 
and     February     1954    mean    sea    level       pressure 
charts  indicate  was  even  farther  than  usual.     The 
only  evidence  of  enrichment  of  the  surface  layers 
within   the   North  Pacific  Current  was  at  station  8 
at  30   N.    on  165   W.  ,   where  the  surface  phosphate 
values  were  between  0.4-0.5  (ig.   at.  /I.    Although 
this    station   was    located   in   an   area  of  relatively 
large    and   divergent   surface    currents,    the  local 
nature    of   the    high    phosphate    content    and  the  fact 
that   the    station   was    occupied   just  after  a  period 
of    Beaufort    7  winds   lead  to  the  conclusion  that  it 
was  a  local  phenomenon. 

When  the  geostrophic  currents  are 
considered  alone,  the  general  easterly  flow  in  the 
northern  part  of  the  cruise  area  appears  to  be  a 
branch    of   the     North     Pacific     Current,      which 


13 


continues  east  along  the  northern  side  of  the 
Eastern  Gyre.  However,  as  has  already  been 
pointed  out  in  the  discussion  of  the  temperature  - 
salinity  relationships,  a  series  of  abrupt  shifts 
occur  in  the  surface  portion  of  the  T-S  curves, 
showing  an  intrusion  of  colder  and  less  saline 
water  from  the  north.  A  complete  transition 
to  Subarctic  Water  was  not  made  on  any  of  the 
transects,  so  the  core  of  the  Aleutian  Current, 
being  defined  as  an  easterly  flow  of  Subarctic 
Water,    was  not  reached. 

Previous      authors      have      shown 
considerable    variation   in  the  latitude,    extent, 
and  nature  of  the  eastern  portion  of  the  transi- 
tion  zone   between   the    North    Pacific    Current 
and  the  Aleutian  Current.     Merz's  chart  of  the 
currents    of  the    Pacific    in    northern    summer 
(Wiist  1929)  shows  it  as  a  line  beginning  off  the 
coast   of   Japan  at  about  36   N.   and  extending  in 
a  wide   arc    through    42    N.  ,      170   E.,    to   about 
35   N.    latitude,    160   W.   longitude.      He  applies 
the  name  North  Polar  Front  to  the  line.   Schott 
(Deutsche  Seewarte   1942)   shows  the  transition 
as    a   line  of  convergence  which  corresponds  to 
Merz's   from   the    coast    of    Japan    to     170   E., 
42   N.   It  then  continues  northeast  as  an  indefi- 
nite   line   to   45   N.   latitude,    165    W.   longitude. 
In  the  area  north  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  Schott 
indicates  the  line  of  divergence  shown  in  figure 
17.  Sverdrup  et  al.    (1942,    figs.   205  and  209A) 
show   the    transition   zone   as    the   boundary   be- 
tween the  Subarctic  Water  and  the  Eastern  and 
Western  North  Pacific  Central  Water    masses. 
They   portray   it   as    a  zone  extending  in  a  wide 
arc   completely   across    the    Pacific.       It    also 
corresponds    to    Merz's     Polar    Front  to  about 
180    .  It  then  continues  to  about40°N.,   150°W., 
where    it   turns    southward   and    parallels     the 
coast  of  North  America  to  approximately  20   N. 

The   differences    in    interpretation 
by   the    three   authors    are  quite  understandable 
when  the  small  amount  of  data  and  the  different 
methods    used  in  the  analysis  of  the  circulation 
are    considered.       Schott    used    ship's     drift, 
Sverdrup   largely   temperature-salinity    rela- 
tionships andMerz  apparently  a  combination 
of  both.       However,     Merz   did   not   have    the 
benefit   of   more    recent    surveys    such  as  those 
of  the    Carnegie   and   the    Bushnell.       Actually, 
the   major   differences    among   these     authors' 
interpretations    of  the    cruise  area  can  be  rec- 
onciled.      In  the   area   where   Schott    shows     a 
divergence   in   the    surface    current,    Sverdrup 
et  al.    (1942,    fig.    205)  indicate  a  branching  or 
divergence  of  the  North  Pacific  Current.    Wiist, 
in  his  discussion   of  Merz's  North  Polar  Front, 
states    that   in   the    eastern   part   of    the    ocean, 
although  the  front  has  the  unstable  temperature 


characteristics  of  a  convergence  in  the  direction 
of  flow,  it  shows  mixing  of  the  colder,  deeper 
waters  with  the  surface  water.  This  would  cause 
enrichment  and  cooling  of  the  surface,  which  are 
the  two  most  outstanding  characteristics  of  an 
area  of  divergence. 

If  it  is  remembered  that  in  the  ocean 
an  abrupt,  discontinuous  transition  from  one  type 
of   water   to   another    is    almost  never  found   and 
that   the    line    merely  indicates  that  the  transition 
takes    place    over    a   relatively    short     distance, 
Wiist's    geographical   limits  of  and  description  of 
the  eastern   part   of   the  North  Polar  Front  seem 
to   fit   the   northwestern   part   of  the  cruise   area. 
The    T-S   curves    show   that  the    incursion   of   the 
Subarctic     Water    took    place     in   the   form   of  a 
series    of   narrow    streams    rather  than  a  broadly 
moving   front.       The    dynamic  topography   shows 
that   the    bands    of   relatively  high  velocity,    which 
resemble   the   multiple    currents    of  the      Gulf 
Stream   described  by  Fuglister    (1951),     occurred 
in   the   boundaries    between   these    streams.      The 
turbulence    in   these     zones     of    relatively   large 
horizontal   velocity   gradient   probably    cause    the 
mixing    of  the  deep  water  with  the  surface  waters 
described    by    Wiist    and   accounts    for   the   large 
horizontal   phosphate    gradients    in    these     zones 
and    the     occurrence    of    the    highest    phosphate 
values  in  the  northwest  part  of  the  area. 

The    reported   existence    of  the    North 
Pacific  Gyral,  a  clockwise  gyral  centered  between 
the    Hawaiian   Islands  and  the  west  coast  of  North 
America,     is    based   mainly  on  the  characteristics 
of  the  water    and   results    of   current    and      mass 
transport  computations   (Sverdrup  et  al.    1942,    p. 
723).       Its  center  is  believed  to  coincide  with  the 
center    of   the    Eastern   North   Pacific    High,    so  it 
undergoes    considerable    seasonal   migration   and 
variation   in    size.      Considering  the  radical  shift 
that  occurred  in  the  mean  position  of  the  High  be- 
btween   February   and   March,  it  is  not  surprising 
that   there    was    little    evidence    of  a  distinct    gyral 
in   the   dynamic   topography   of  the  eastern  part  of 
the  area.   However,    many  of  the  other  character- 
istics of  the  Gyral  were  present  in  the  southeast- 
ern part  of  the  cruise  area.       The  isolated  cell  of 
sigma-t    greater    than   25.0   at   the     surface,    the

southern   stations  on  the   147    W.    and   141    W.    lon- 
gitude   transects    to   those    of    the    Eastern   North 
Pacific    Central    Water  show  that  it  is  centered   at 
about   the    southernmost   of   the    two    anticyclonic 
cells  on   145    W.    longitude.      The  maximum  depths 
of  up  to  200  m.    of  the  top  of  the  thermocline  which 
occurred   just    south  of  the  center  of  this    cell    il- 
lustrate   the    effect      of   convergence  in  the   surface 
waters.         The    impoverishment    of   the    southern 


14 


part   of  the    Gyral  is    shown  by    the    tongue    of 
less   than   0.  1  ug.   at.  /I.    in  the  surface  plot  of 
inorganic   phosphate,    the    large    Secchi    disk 
readings,    and  the  blue  color    of    the    water. 

In    conclusion,     the    only    areas  in 
which  there  is  an  apparent  source  of  continuous 
mixing   which   should   provide  enrichment  of  the 
surface  layers  are  the  zones  of  large  horizontal 
current  shear  in  the  Polar  Front.      It  is  inter- 
esting  to   note    that  the    albacore   taken  by  the 
J.   R.    Manning  (cruise   19),  which  was  operating 
in  the    area   concurrently  with  the  Smith,    were 
taken   at   or   near    these    zones     (Shomura    and 
Otsu   MS^/.        For   example,     the  best    days1 
catch  of  42  albacore  (5.4/100  hooks)  was  made 
on  the  160   W.   transect  at  33    58'N.  ,    just  south 
of  the  area  where  the  surface  temperature  rose 
from    58   F.   to  63   F.    in   only  25  miles,    and  in 
the   area   where   the  first  sharp  increase  in  the 
surface  phosphate  occurred.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 

The   authors    wish    to    acknowledge 
the   help   and   advice    of   the   many   persons    who 
contributed   to   the    report.       First,    to  the  per- 
sonnel  of   the   field   party   and  vessel,    particu- 
larly  the   fishermen  and  engineers  who  manned 
the   hydrographic    stations.         A  review  of  the 
weather    information   tabulated    in    the    station 
data   will   reveal   the    adverse   conditions    under 
which   they   often   worked.      Second,   to  the  per- 
sonnel  ashore    who   assisted   in    preparing   the 
report.       Mary   Lynne    Godfrey   processed   or 
supervised   the   processing  of  most  of  the  data. 
John  Van  Landingham  did  most  of  the  chemical 
analyses  afloat  and  ashore.     Thomas  S.   Austin 
advised  and  assisted  generously  in  the  analyses 
and   presentation   of   the   data,     and     Tarn  otsu 
Nakata  prepared  the  illustrations.

NOTES  ON  THE  TABULATED  DATA, 
HMS-25 

In   every   case,    any  variation    from 
the  standard  13-bottle  cast  has  been  noted  and 
explained.     (See  explanatory  code.) 

Where  more  than  one  cast  was  taken 
on  a  station,     they  are  divided  in  the  observed 
data  by  a  horizontal  line.     The  cast  number    is 
indicated    by    a    Roman    numeral    at    the    left 
margin. 

Where    the    duplicate      temperature 
readings    differed   by   more   than   0.  05      below 
300   m.  ,     or  more  than   0.10      above    300    m.  , 
and   where   the    duplicate     salinity     titrations 
differed    by    more     than   0.  02     /oo,    and  where 
the  duplicate  phosphate  determinations  differed 
by   more   than   0.01    extinction    (about  0.05    \ig. 
at/1.),    both  values  were  plotted  on  the  station 
graphs.       If   one    of  these   values    was    used   in 
drawing   the   curve,     it   is    carried   in   the   data 
and   the    other    discarded.       If  no  choice  can  be 
made    between   them,     the    value    interpolated 
from  the  curve  is  used.       This  interpolation  is 
rare    in    the     salinity    values     and   is  indicated 
where   present;    it   is    common   for    phosphate, 
and   not   indicated;     it  did  not  occur  in  the    tem- 
perature values. 


Explanatory  Code  for  Tabulated  Data 

a/      No  analysis  made      for    this    property,     or 
analysis  faulty  and  discarded. 

b/      Nansen  bottle  pretripped;  no  water  sample 
or  temperature. 

c/      Individual  water  sample  lost. 

d/      Value  definitely  bad  and  discarded. 

e/      Value  seems  anomalous,   but  not  positively 
out. 

f/       Only  one  titration  made  due  to  insufficient 
sample. 

g/      Duplicate     salinity    titration    values     differ 
by    more  than  0.02      /oo  but  less  than  0.07 
/oo;    value    tabulated    is     interpolated  be- 
tween   the    duplicates     from    the     station 
curve. 


Weather    is      recorded      in      the     ww 
(present  weather)    code    given    in    the      U.      S. 
Weather     Bureau    Circular    M,    eighth   edition, 
Manual  of  Marine  Meteorological  Observations. 
Cloud   cover    is  given  in  tenths  of  sky   covered. 
Wind    velocity    was    measured  with  an   anemo- 
meter 30  meters  above  the  sea  surface.       The 
direction    (given    to    the    nearest    10    )  is    that 
from   which  the    wind   was    blowing,     measured 
clockwise  through  360     from  north.
