Abstract
A thermal profile of the upper layers of the southern Tasman Sea with associated surface and bathymetric observations is presented. Analysis of the data is made for currents and water mass properties. The character of the Subtropical Convergence here is pointed out and longitudinal limits indicated for the various structures discussed. The subtropical, East Australian Current is found to dominate the circulation of the western, southern Tasman Sea while subantarctic water is predominant in the eastern half.Keywords
