Eighty-two CTD stations were taken in the Mediterranean Sea during February, 1975 . These stations were concentrated in the Alboran Sea near Gibraltar to investigate whether water typical of the deep western Mediterranean was flowing directly up and over the sill at Gibraltar. Temperature, salinity, and potential temperature at standard pressures are presented for each of the stations.Prepared for the National Science Foundation under Grants OCE76-10940 and OCE74-19782 A03 and for the National Oceanographic Data Center under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Purchase Order 6-19641 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
