Abstract: Using published material the temperature-salinity characteristics of the world's water masses are defined for the upper, intermediate and deep/abyssal regions of the ocean.The global distributions and boundaries of these water masses are mapped along with indications of their formation regions.Representative temperature-salinity relationships are presented for each of the three major oceans.
