Oceanographic conditions off the Scotian Shelf during mesopelagic resource inventory cruises, 1984-89 / by R.G. Halliday, D.E. Themelis, C.E. Dale, and G.D. Harrison.Fs97-4/2327E-PDF

"Water temperature and salinity data, collected during 11 mesopelagic resource inventory cruises conducted in 1984-89 in the continental slope region between 55 and 65°W, are presented. These data are analyzed to define water mass boundary positions in the upper 450 m during the period of each cruise. Charts of surface boundary positions based on satellite infrared imagery are used as aids in interpreting cruise data. Small numbers of XBT casts to 1830 m and CTD casts to 1000 m provide data for deeper waters. The variation of temperature and salinity over time at a fixed location (41°00 'N 61°30 'W) is also described based on three occupations for periods of 1.5 to 3.5 days"--Abstract, page iii.
