Description:

A summary of hydrographic observations for 21 surveys on the northeast continental shelf during 1998 is presented. Distributions of station position, surface and bottom temperature, salinity, and anomalies are portrayed. The average surface and bottom temperatures and salinities have been calculated for each survey in five geographic regions over the northeast continental shelf: western Gulf of Maine (GOMW), eastern Gulf of Maine (GOME), Georges Bank (GB), northern Middle Atlantic Bight (MABN) and southern Middle Atlantic Bight (MABS). The entire northeast continental shelf experienced fresher salinity conditions during the 1998 field season. This trend in lower salinity anomalies (relative to the MARMAP reference period) also had been observed during 1996 and 1997. The temperature distributions for all five regions show a fairly typical seasonal pattern. Surface temperatures during the summer and fall were warmer than expected for nearly all regions, although observations from the last two cruises of the field season show a trend of cooler surface and bottom temperatures.
