This report is an intermediate step in analyzing part of the hydrographic data from the 1972 Coastal Upwelling Experiment (CUE) off the coast of Oregon. It presents the author's interpretation of the vertical dis- tribution of temperature, salinity and sigma-t along lines occupied on hydrographic cruises by R/V Yaquina during CUE. Hydrographic observations collected from R/V Oceanographer during CUE (Halpern and Holbrook, 1972) are not included in this report. Data reports for each of the CUE hydrographic cruises have been published (Anon., 1972 a-e; 1973 a-c; Halpern and Holbrook, 1972). The diagrams presented here will be of interest to the other CUE participants and also to other oceanographers studying Oregon coastal waters.
