Fig. 42. Section illustrating the distribution of salinity in the upper 400 metres along the path of the current. The section runs roughly parallel to the coast and is situated at a mean distance of about 100 miles from it. The dotted line indicates the value of the surface salinity at the inshore station corresponding to each of the stations plotted; and the broken line indicates the maximum depth apparently affected by upwelling at each of these localities. halines of 34-60 and 34-70 °l^^ cross the section in three places. The positions occupied by the convergence in this section together with our own results are also given in the table, from which the convergence is seen to run east and west in the open ocean and to curve northwards on approaching the coast. The disposition of surface isohalines given by Schott shows a similar tendency. In the eastern South Atlantic, on the other hand, the subtropical convergence pursues an easterly course, and in 10° E is placed in lat. 37° 30' S (Deacon, 1933, p. 211). In consequence of this, the Peru Coastal Current crosses a convergence: and two.
