Table 2. Statistical parameters for total organic phosphorus in the western Indian Ocean during the SW monsoon (1963), based on a frequency distribution
analysis. The principal crossings are arranged by mean latitude, with accessory regions having sufficient data concentrated in a specific geographocal region
separately grouped at the left. South of the Equator the data are divided into a western border region between Madagascar and the coast of Africa and the
central basin east of Seychelles and Madagascar. Data are grouped in 1000 m increments of the water column, plus a total of all depths below 1000 m. The mean
(x),
variance (S2),
standard deviation (s) and standard error of estimate
(slY'll, where n is the number of observations) are indicated for each grouping
