Presentation of data 
An overview of the schedules of the 12 voyages of CMS "Köln Atlantic" is summarized 
in Table 1, and the positions of all XBT drops are presented in Fig. 5 together with a 
profile of the bottom topography along the average ship track (Fig. 6). A presentation 
of all data is given separately in Tables, track plots, profile plots, and section plots 
assorted by voyages. In addition to our ship of opportunity data one transect carried out 
by M. Stein onboard the Fisheries Research Vessel "Walther Herwig" (cruise No. 101) 
is presented at the end of this report.
