Temperature, salinity, and density at " Atlantis " Station 1729, typical of slope water between the Continental Shelf and Gulf Stream and at Station 1734, typical of Sargasso Sea water east of the Gulf Stream, in the area of these in- vestigations. T, temperature in °C. S, salinity in parts per mille. D, density (specific gravity minus one, times one thousand). Among other possible causes for such vertical variations in abun- dance of plankton as do occur in deep water, the following possibilities come to mind:.
