But by the end of August a surface temperature of 20° was found within fifteen miles of Marthas Vineyard. The very cold water off Cape Sable, noted above, was only a local phenomenon, associated no doubt with vertical currents, for the temperature was higher (10°-12°) along the southeast coast of Nova Fig. 1.—Surface temperature, July-August 191

The very cold water off Cape Sable, noted above, was only a local phenomenon, associated no doubt with vertical currents, for the temperature was higher (10°-12°) along the southeast coast of Nova Fig. 1.—Surface temperature, July-August 1914. Temperature Sections.— Temperature and salinity sections are chiefly interesting as the basis for the profiles, and charts for different levels. The temperature curves for the Gulf of Maine are of the same general types as in 1913 (1915). Thus both in the eastern and in the western basins the water was coldest in the mid-depths (about 100 meters); down to which level vertical cooling was very rapid at all the deep Gulf stations, most so in the western part (Fig. 2)..
