Review of selected oceanographic conditions during 1985 in NAFO Division 4VWX / by R. Ian Perry and Randolph J. Losier.: Fs70-8/87-7E-PDF
"Selected oceanographic conditions, including temperature, salinity, and the frequency of eddy activity, are reviewed for spring, summer, and fall of 1985 from NAFO Divisions 4VWX. Mean seasonal conditions were calculated from Marine Fish Division (Scotia-Fundy Region) surveys, and compared with the long-term averages. Eddy activity along the edge of the Scotian Shelf was common throughout the year, while temperatures and salinities were near normal. The exception was the eastern Scotian Shelf in summer, where bottom temperatures were 1-2 °C below their historical average. Monthly sea surface temperatures at St. Andrews were also close to their historical averages"--Abstract, page 2.
