The next profile (Fig. 57) from Station 10063, off Nantucket, to the edge of the continental shelf (Station 10061), shows that douTi to about twenty fathoms the water was considerably lightest at the shore end. Below thirty fathoms the density curves dip seaward, especially at the outer edge of the shelf, coincident with the cold.
