Abstract
Utilizing data from a four month period CSC0RPI0 Expedition,
1967), an analysis was made of the various characteristics of
the South Pacific Ocean.
This investigation was based on the primary assumption that
the geostrophic approximation was valid. A level of no motion
was established at 762m and 1203m for the latitudinal sections
of 23 and 43° respectively, which satisfied mass and salt continuity requirements . Comprehensive temperature and
salinity data extended from the western boundary to the
eastern boundary of the South Pacific Ocean, and from the
sea surface to the sea floor.
