Abstract
Mean temperature-salinity (TS) curves are computed from all available hydrographic data for 10° quadrangles in the Pacific between 20°S and 40°N. These curves together with temperature profiles from hydrographic stations are used to compute a quantity called TS dynamic height. The rms differences between dynamic and TS dynamic height indicate where mean TS curves may be reliably used to compute dynamic height from temperature profiles.Keywords
