Figs, 24 to 29 show the course that was run during the
aircraft campaign and, furthermore, the surface distributions
 of temperature and salinity, as well as observations
 from the central station.
The current measurements are shown as time series of the
vector components and o£f the amount and direction of
currents. From the original series the residual currents
{Ramster and Koltermann, 1975) were determined, These
are represented as progressive vector diagrams (PVD),
as vector series and as daily mean values. In Figs.
53 und 54 the data of £he thermistor chains are shown
as time series. Represented are the temperature deviav+ions
 from the respective individual series mean,
The meteorological parameters atmospheric pressure,
wind andair temperature that had been measured by a
meteorological buoy (76361) are represented with the
same time axis in Fig.51,52 together with the sea surface
temperature.
To Figs. 90 bis 103 the sea wave spectra are added
which were measured during the Airborne Remote Sensing
Programme by means of a Pitch-and-Roll-Buoy. The sea
wave spectra shown are a measure of the energy per
unit sea surface and per frequency interval. The total
sea wave energy per unit sea surface is equal to the
integral of the spectrum multiplied by 9" g (9=water
 density; g = acceleration of the Earth). The
given significant wave heights were calculated, according
 to the definitions, as fourfold of the root
öf the integral of the spectrum.
