Refer to Figure 13B-2. The path covered by ARVOR Float 6901566 just south of Greenland is ideal for measuring changes in temperature and salinity of water that contribute to ______. (If needed, reference Investigation 5B for detailed information on water masses.) a.North Atlantic Deep Water b.Mediterranean Intermediate Water c.Antarctic Intermediate Water d.all of the above are correct
1. Refer to Figure 13B-2. The path covered by ARVOR Float 6901566 just south of Greenland is ideal for measuring changes in temperature and salinity of water that contribute to ______. (If needed, reference Investigation 5B for detailed information on water masses.)
a.North Atlantic Deep Water
b.Mediterranean Intermediate Water
c.Antarctic Intermediate Water
d.all of the above are correct
2. Figure 13B-4 provides data collected from the same float during its ascent to the ocean surface on 18 August 2016 (Cycle #81). Compare the surface temperature and salinity conditions with those shown in Figure 13B-3. Be sure to note the different temperature and salinity scales in the two figures. This late summer profile shows a thinner surface layer with ______ temperatures and ______ salinity water compared to conditions in mid-winter of Figure 13B-3.
a.much colder … slightly lower
b.much colder … slightly higher
c.much warmer … slightly lower
d.much warmer … slightly higher
3. Refer to Figure 13B-6. Sea-surface temperature is fairly consistent between all of the Argo floats in this region for January. Surface temperature is about ______°C. Salinity exhibits more variation, but has a median value of approximately______ psu.
a.27 … 34
b.10 … 35
c.5 … 35
d.20 … 36
4. The temperature at 200 m is ______°C in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific, which is about ______°C warmer than the January profile in Figure 13B-3 in the North Atlantic Ocean.
a.10 … 7
b.13 … 10
c.15 … 12
d.17 … 14
