Stations WS 1063-70 did not lie sufficiently far to the west to reach the boundary with oceanic water, and consequently they all lie within the coastal water. The vertical sections (Figs. 25 and 26) show that active up- welling must have been taking place on this line. The Walvis Bay line (230 S.). Here again there are indications of active upwelling (Figs. 27 and 28). The inshore waters show an interesting point: the salinity of the inshore surface-water is very low (34-84 %0) and remained low out to WS 1078 (34-96 %0). Below this, however, the salinity increased to 34-97 %0 on the sea bed of the continental shelf. The salinity section suggests that there is a pronounced up- lift of deeper water taking place on the edge of the continental 1 10 II 1 1 12 13 14 , .-/' SO-^ 1 WSIOG2 ', / WSI06I 100- / r / t Fig. 24.
