T-S DIAGRAM

In the ocean water masses obtain their t,s properties at the surface and tend to retain these properties for centuries as they are subducted into the oceans interior and away from any sources or sinks of heat. Later we will discuss the formations and transport these various water masses that are apparent on a T-S diagram (Figure 6)-- but for now we want to move onto the momentum equation and a discussion of pressure.
