The portion BC of the diagram for St. WS 393 represents the mass of mixed water occurring between the cold nucleus of the Antarctic surface water at 40 m. and the intermediate maximum temperature of the warm deep water at 300 m. The diagram for St. WS 392 shows that the mass of mixed Antarctic surface water and warm deep water is missing at this station. At St. WS 390 an accumulation of slightly less saline but relatively warmer water in the 0-100 m. layer corresponds to an inflow of surface water from the south-west.
