TRANSPORT Before proceeding with a discussion of calculated volume trans- port, it must be pointed out that there was a time difference of 7 weeks between the first and last oceanographic stations occupied by the USS PURSUIT. In the light of the subsequent sxirveys by the ATLANTIS and USS SAN PABLO, it is apparent that the circulation was in a transient state during both USS PURSUIT surveys. Never- theless, the data from each group have been integrated and transport and relative currents calculated to see how they compared with the GEK Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Keen, D.
