In the southern part of the Gulf there was comparatively little increase in salinity with depth below thirty fath- oms, and the bottom salinity was about the same on the Shoals as at the same depth further north; but the surface shows the influence of the Salter southern water by a steady, though slight, rise in salinity from Station 10058 to Station 10060, as well as in the fact that the Fig. 38.— Salinity profile from the neighborhood of Montauk Point across the continental shelf (Stations 10063, 10062, 10061) to the edge of the shelf south of Nantucket. average salinity for the upper ten fathoms was higher at Station 10060 () than at Station 10058 (). South of the Shoals there was a rapid rise in salinity, depth for depth, from north to south across the continental shelf. But the Shoals are an effective barrier to any active mixing of water on the two sides below about thirty fathoms. The next profile (Fig. 38) runs across the continental shelf from Montauk Point (between Station 10083 and Station 10087) to the continental slope south of Nantucket Shoals (Station 10061). Its.
