    Volumetric
    T-S censuses for winter 
     | 
   
   
    (Feb.
    15). The images show the 
     | 
     | 
   
   
     | 
   
   
    base-10
    logarithm of water volume 
     | 
     | 
   
   
    in
    cubic meters. Superimposed are 
     | 
     | 
   
   
    contours
    of sigma-0 calculated 
     | 
     | 
   
   
    using
    the HYCOM/MICOM 
     | 
     | 
   
   
     | 
   
   
    equation of
    state.

    The
    censuses of the four hybrid- 
     | 
     | 
   
   
     | 
   
   
    coordinate
    simulations are very 
     | 
     | 
   
   
    similar
    to each other. Some 
     | 
     | 
   
   
    differences
    are observed with 
     | 
     | 
   
   
    the
    MICOM mode simulation. All 
     | 
     | 
   
   
     | 
   
   
    simulations
    differ substantially 
     | 
     | 
   
   
    with
    the observations.
