Description:The modified 20 metric ton, 20m[square] area Bloch-Tabor brine pond built on the premises of the New Alchemy Institute, Hatchville, Massachusetts, under Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution auspices has been in operation since early October 1976 through one of the coldest winters in recent New England history. Despite a "cold" start in October 1976 the core temperature declined only to 24[degree]C in January-February 1977, reached a summer peak of 58[degree]C in August 1977 and is now showing seasonal decline. Generally speaking, the pond has maintained a temperature about 20[degree]C above ambient; showing only very sluggish responses to weather changes and a smooth response to seasonal changes of insolation and average windspeed.
