Abstract
Oceanographic data of the Ocean Weather Stations “ Extra ” (39°N,153° E) and “ Tango ” (29° N,135° E) are treated. “ Normal ” monthly values, which will be the basis of future investigations, are prepared of some of oceanographic elements. Characteristics of the annual variations in the oceanographic elements are discussed, comparison being made between the two sea regions of the Ocean Weather Stations “ Extra ” and “ Tango ”. Some descriptions are given of spring layers of temperature, chlorinity, and σt and of vertical sta. bility. Besides, numerical values of eddy conductivity are computed by applying FJELDSTAD'S method and some relationships between transparency and colour of the sea are examined.
