Figure 3A-1 is a Temperature-Salinity (T-S) Diagram. Temperature is plotted on the left axis and the values are depicted in degrees Celsius. Salinity is plotted on the bottom axis and is unitless. The solid curves are lines of constant ocean water density in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3). Lines of constant density are called isopyenals. Salinity values are determined to the fourth decimal place because small changes can have major implications in ocean water circulation. 20 /1.0245 g/am3 15 1.0250 1.0255 1.0260 10 1.0265 1.0270 5 1.0275 1.0280 1.0285 33.5 34.0 34.5 35.0 35.5 Salinity 36.0 36.5 Temperature (°C) 1.0290
