Transcribed Image Text:Figure 5B-2 provides data collected from the Argo float from the Atlantic Ocean. The left profile shows the change in temperature (°C) with depth. The right profile shows the change in salinity (practical salinity units) with depth. The data was collected on 8 December 2018. One decibar of water pressure corresponds to 1 m of water depth.
