The relationship of these profiles to one another may be illustratedfurther by charts of the temperatures and salinities at the 200, 600,1,000, and 1,800 meter levels. At 200 meters salinity was remarkably uniform, the extreme range,except for the cool, fresh water next the coast (station 10158, p. 45),bemg from to only. The temperature range () was also very small, ° to ° over most of the the coast off Chesapeake Bay it was much colder (° at 20 EXPLORATIONS, WESTERN ATLANTIC, STEAMER BACHE, 1914. station 10158); but east of station 10161 the temperature at thislevel was nowhere below 18°.
