27 Nansen bottle samples with temperature, 
with the sampler being placed immediately 
over the bathysonde, 
302 selected samples, Only such measurements 
were used for comparison which had been taken 
during suitable hydrographic conditions, 
2 stations at which the bathysonde and multi- 
sonde were operated simultaneously (the bathy- 
sonde was built into the multisonde's cage). 
The measurement series (3) were used primarily to com- 
pare the two probe systems to one anether,. 
After taking into account an additive correction for 
temperature and conductivity, this resulted in 
Temperaturet 6 = + 0,.08° € 
Salinity: $= + 0,06 %o 
for the standard deviation for temperature and salinity. 
Dependence on the time and the depth was not observed 
within these limits of accuracy. 
The relative accuracy - this is the measure for the 
comparability of the measurements one with another - 
for temperature and conductivity lies within the digital 
resolution, In both cases it comes to + 0,01 units. 
The numbers of the stations on the lists by METEOR 
(p-. 20 ) and by the Deutsches Ozeanographisches Daten- 
zentrum (DOD) (p. 25 ) do not coincide, as the DOD list 
shows only those stations with consecutive numbering 
for which hydrocasts are available, 
The station data in all figures r-“er to the METEOR list 
on p. 20 ff, 
The selection of horizontal charts and the representation 
of vertical sections are in accordance with international 
agreements, The nearshore part of the long sections is 
shown twice at different scales, This enables a better
