Description:A summary of hydrographic observations for 16 surveys on the northeast continental shelf during 1994 is presented. Distributions salinity, of station position, surface and temperature anomaly are and bottom temperature, portrayed. The average surface and bottom temperature and salinity 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). Unlike temperature, salinity properties of the northeast shelf exhibit large interannual variability (Manning 1990). Areal average salinity calculations are included in this report because yearly changes may be an important hydrographic characteristic. The 1994 regional distributions show that the surface and bottom salinity of the northern MAB was fresher than the MARMAP reference for nearly all observations.
