Figure 1. Contoured time series of potential temperature versus pressure below 3000 dbar for HOT cruises 1-59. Symbols along the bottom axis indicate time of CTD casts which reached to at least 3800 m. The boundary between color and black in the figure indicates the maximum depth of CTD profiles. Temperature scale is given by the color bar along the right side of the figure; note the variable scale.
