Because the Nansen cast measurements typically were made in shipping lanes, these data did not reveal information on nearshore temperature structures that influence coral communities. Remote sensing data (1988, 1989). Analysis of SST fields from satellite imagery provided details of nearshore temperature conditions and variations during the SW monsoon. The grids analyzed are shown in Figure 29. The images in Plate 1 reveal a thermal front off Ra's al Hadd in July 1989 (a), and warm pools on the NW side of Masirah Island and at Barr al Hikman, across Masirah Channel on the mainland coast, in August 1988 (b). SSTs on the south side of Ra's al Hadd were 24°-25°C, and increased to 27°-28°C around the point towards the NW (near Sur). The temperature change was more abrupt at Masirah Island, with SSTs of 23°-24°C at easterly exposures and 27°-28°C towards the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
