Notes: Adara = Adara APC temperature shoe; WSTP = water-sampling temperature probe; and DVTP = Davis-Villinger Temperature Probe. 					
a The equilibrium temperature was determined by trial-and-error minimization of the misfit between the synthetic equilibration curve					
" and the recorded data in temperature vs. F(alpha,t) space. The assignment of errors is discussed in the text."					
"b K indicates the average, uncorrected thermal conductivity value used to convert from depth to resistance. A thermal conductivity "					
value of 0.94 W/(m*K) was adopted for .all in situ temperatures measured deeper than 200 mbsf.
