Refer to Figure 5B-3. NADW has a temperature between 2.5 and 4.5°C and a salinity between 34.9 and 35.0. Mediterranean Intermediate Water has a slightly lower density than NADW, with a temperature and salinity range centered at a. 4°C and 34.0 b. 5°C and 35.5 c. 10°C and 36.0
Transcribed Image Text:Refer to Figure 5B-3. NADW has a temperature between 2.5 and 4.5°C and a salinity between 34.9 and 35.0. Mediterranean Intermediate Water has a slightly lower density than NADW, with a temperature and salinity range centered at a. 4°C and 34.0 b. 5°C and 35.5 c. 10°C and 36.0
The Temperature-Salinity (T-S) diagram in Figure 5B-3 shows the typical range of temperature and salinity combinations in ocean water and the resulting density. The T-S diagram is a simple but powerful tool used to understand water mass properties.
