TIDAL INTERNAL WAVE AND THE MEAN DEPTH ABOUT WHICH IT OSCILLATES. ATLANTIC WEATHER SHIP COCA, 52 5°N., , AND VICINITY in figures 21+ and 25. In each figure the graph at the left indi- cates the percentage of the total observations which showed the mean depth of the thermocline at each of the depth categories and the graph at the right indicates the mean amplitudes plotted against each of the depth categories. It is evident that there is a direct relationship between the mean depth about which the thermocline is oscillating and the amplitude of the oscillations themselves. It will be noted that variations from a straight line relationship exist. In particular it was noticed that the slight decrease in the amplitude at the greater depths shown in the right-hand graph of figure 2$ was also characteristic of some of the data computed for other areas of the ocean but not presented in this report. It is not known at present whether this is due to the relatively few observations taken where the thermocline was found at the greater depths or whether there is 52
