[38] Krümmel (paper cited in footnote 26) suggests applying the name
Sargasso Sea to the area limited by the curve of 5 per cent probability
of occurrence on his map (our Fig. 1). This area amounts to 4,500,000
square kilometers, or somewhat less than half the area of Europe.
Schott (see footnote 26), p. 140, gives 8,635,000 square kilometers as
the area of his natural region Sargasso Sea, which is based not only
on the occurrence of gulfweed but also on the prevailing absence of
currents and on the relatively high temperature of the water in all
depths.--EDIT. NOTE.
