Question
Transcribed Image Text:Refer to Figure 5B-3. NADW has a temperature between 2.5 and 4.5°C and a
salinity between 34.9 and 35.0. Mediterranean Intermediate Water has a slightly
lower density than NADW, with a temperature and salinity range centered at
a. 4°C and 34.0
b. 5°C and 35.5
c. 10°C and 36.0
Transcribed Image Text:The Temperature-Salinity (T-S) diagram in Figure 5B-3 shows the typical range of
temperature and salinity combinations in ocean water and the resulting density. The
T-S diagram is a simple but powerful tool used to understand water mass properties.
(Refer to Investigation 3A to review the T-S diagram and its interpretation.)

Expert Solution
Step 1
By analyzing the question,
We need to Refer to Figure 5B-3. NADW has a temperahre between 2.5 and 4.5°C and a
salinity between 34.9 and 35.0. Mediterranean Internediate Water has a slightly
lower density than NADW, with a temperahre and salinity range centered at
