Hydrographic station data, consisting principally of temperature and salinity determinations, have been used by physical oceanographers to develop a climatological picture of the distribution of these quantities in the oceans of the world. Density as determined by Knudsen\u27s formula, taken together with hydrostatic and geostrophic dynamics, also provides a crude picture of oceanic flow...
