The mixing stages of water masses are examined by the T-S curves. The T-S curves can be classified into five groups in the area between 06°N-19°N latitude. At 19°N latitude the T-S curve indicates the eastern North Pacific Central Water. The boundary zone between the water masses from the north and the south is found near 07°N latitude, where the subsurface salinity maximum and minimum are not recognized. The transitional stages with latitudinal change between the Pacific Equatorial Water and the eastern North Pacific Central Water are shown.}, pages = {155--164}, title = {The Oceanographical Research in the Southern Region of the Hawaiian Islands IV : Mixing Stages of Water Masses}, volume = {30}, year = {} }
