Fig. 3 represents another station of the Cambridge group, this one also taken by Challenger in the Atlantic. It also gives a good example of Layer 2 because of its fairly great thickness, km. The length of the Layer 3 segment is shorter than in Fig. 2 but long enough to give a good demonstration of the Layer 3 velocity, km/sec, and to determine the Layer 2 thickness.
