* INTRODUCTION

This lecture is an attempt to focus on non-geologic examples.  It will
hopefully provide examples from paleoclimate and water column examples.


* OCEAN WATER MASSES

This is an example that I have wanted to do for a long time.  There
are many good profiles across ocean basins of basic parameters such as
salinity and tempurature.  We can create vertical images just like
seismic lines.  Lynne Talley (who I took Physical Oceanography from)
has a good website with these maps:

There are a number of atlases.  Let's start with the Atlantic Ocean
which looks to have some better sections.  Lets grab the basemap and
some of the lines from the northern hemisphere.
