Distribution of temperature (° C.) between 6o° S. and 350 S. in the region of the Greenwich Meridian, May-June 1936 (see Text-fig. \b for station positions). Water decreases with depth to a minimum value increasing again to a maximum in the Warm Deep. The boundary between them can be taken to lie midway between these two depths (Deacon, 1933). At St. 2533 the minimum temperature in the Antarctic Intermediate water was 1-91° C. at 400 m. and the maximum temperature in the Warm Deep Layer 2-33° C. at 790 m.; the boundary at this station is therefore about 600 m. At other stations on the o° Line the depth of the Antarctic Inter- mediate water was estimated in the same way and found to lie at 1620 m. at St. 2532; 900 m. at St. 2023; 1250 m. at St. 2024; 800 m. (?) at St. 1776; 1400 m. at St. 1775; 900 m. at St. 2387 and at approximately 1500 m. at St. 2386. (b) Warm Deep Water, with its principal component of movement directed south lies below the Antarctic Intermediate Water at considerable depths in the Tropical, Sub-Tropical and Sub-Antarctic.
