OCEANOGRAPHIC OBSERVATIONS, 1965

‘EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES
By
Deceph Chase, Associate Scientist

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Woods Hole, Mass. 02543

ABSTRACT

Daily water temperature and salinity observations for 1965
from 13 locations along the Atlantic seaboard are tabulated, plotted,
and discussed.

INTRODUCTION
Through the cooperation of the U.S. Coast Guard, the Woods

Hole Oceanographic Institution established, late in 1955, a series of
oceanographic observation posts at lightships and light stations along

the east coast of the United States. Additional data have been obtained

from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for Woods Hole, Mass.

The lightship data were forwarded to Woods Hole, where they
were processed. The bathythermograms were read at several levels.
Salinities were determined by salinometer. The records of air
temperature, weather, wind, and clouds were used in studying the other
data but are not presented here.

Parentheses have been used to enclosed mean values derived
from sparse data and daily temperature values extrapolated over a depth
of not more than 10 feet (3 m.) beyond the bottom of the trace.

The daily data were tabulated, and mean temperatures for the
several depths for three periods (decads) in each month were plotted on
time-depth profiles for each station where bathythermographs were used.
The decad mean surface temperatures for 1965 have been plotted beside
the decad averages for 1956-64.

Decad averages of surface salinity and of bottom temperature
for 1956-64 were calculated for comparison with the 1965 data.

The monthly mean surface water temperatures for 1965 for all
stations are listed in table 1, for comparison with previous records
(Bumpus, 1957a, 1957b; Day, 1959a, 1959b, 1960, and 1963; Chase, 1964,
1965, 1966, 1967).

Weather maps of the U.S. Weather Bureau (1965) and a joint
publication of the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (1965, 1966) were sources of information on weather.

We hope to continue the annual collection and publication of
these data and should be glad to include comparable data from other
locations.

This work was supported by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, under Contract Nos. 14-17-0007-253,
14-17-0007-376, and 14-17-0007-572, and by the Office of Naval Research
under Contract No. Nonr-2196(01) with the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution.

THE 1965 DATA

Surface Temperature (fig. 1)

Minimum surface water temperatures occurred in February at the
northern observation posts. At the remaining posts there was a tendency
toward double minima such that the very lowest decads occurred in January,
February, or March without much regularity of pattern. The cold periods
were, in general, longer at the northerly stations, however. Correspondence
was usually good with air temperatures.

The surface water temperatures at Diamond Shoal were far below
normal in January, February, and March. These low water temperatures were
accompanied by subnormal air temperatures but not by excessive precipitation
(cf. 1958).

The vernal warming was steady in most areas and was earliest
in the south.

The maxima came in late July at Portland and Boston, in
September at Chesapeake and Diamond Shoal, and in August at the remaining
stations. At the more northerly stations the maxima were well marked in
comparison with those of 1964. The correspondence with air temperature
was generally good. The autumnal cooling was gradual and orderly at most
observation posts and began earliest in the north.

Bottom Temperatures (fig. 1)

The lowest bottom temperatures were coincidental with those at
the surface except at the more northerly lightships where the minima at
these two levels were less sharply marked.

The maxima occurred between mid-September and late October.
During the summer there were reversals of the warming along the middle
Atlantic coast that were associated with wind (Chase 1959).

Surface Salinity

The effect of the extended drought (U.S. Department of Commerce
and U.S. Department of Agriculture 1965) on salinities along the Middle
. Atlantic and New England coasts has been analyzed by Bumpus (1967). He
found that from 1960 through 1965 there was a general rise in the annual
average of salinity at most of the observation posts from Portland
Lightship to Five Fathom Bank Lightship. The upward trend was particu-
larly noticeable in the record of annual minimum salinities; whereas
annual maximum salinities showed little year to year change.

Surface water temperatures were below normal in all but four
decads of the year. New low records were established in 10 decads.

There is a general correspondence between the records of air
and water temperatures,although air pemperecarce were above normal more
. often than water compe ratures,.

Portland Lightship (Fig. 3, table 3)

All but 7 decads of the year had below-normal surface water
temperatures and 16 had new low values.

Bottom water was colder than normal in 19 of the 24 decads
in which it was observed. It was at a record low value in 11 decads,
of which 8 were in the first quarter of the year.

The minimum in surface salinity was in early May which is
near the average time. Values in the first quarter of the year were
mostly near average whereas those in the remainder of the year were
largely above normal. Generally the values corresponded well with
rainfall and runoff data although the salinity did not reflect the
autumnal peak in runoff (U.S. Department of the Interior 1965).

Boston Lightship (fig. 4, table 4)

The cold year is apparent in the temperatures of air and
surface water at this observation post also. The surface water
temperatures clearly reflect the monthly air temperature which was
above normal only in May and December and was near normal for June.
_New record lows were established in 16 of the 33 decads in which
surface water temperature was reported.

Bottom water temperatures were record lows in all decads
reported except for late April through mid-June. In that period
the surface water temperature was above normal and the thermocline
was forming.

The surface salinity minimum came in early June, 2 decads
later than normal. Salinities were above normal from mid-April through
the end of the year but did not exceed the records established in the
drought year of 1957.

Nantucket Shoals Lightship (fig. 5, table 5)

At Nantucket Shoals surface temperature was subnormal most of
the year. The difference in temperature trend between this observation
post:and those mentioned above are associated with local differences in
air temperature. Water temperature record highs were reached in mid-
July and mid-August. There were new record lows in 11 decads, 8 of
which were in spring.

Although bottom temperatures from earlier years are scarce,
the data for i965 indicate a cold year.

Surface salinity was near normal for most decads of the year.
The observed extremes were 32.18 °/oo in mid-July and 32.83 °/oo in
early November. In the averages for previous years the range is from
32.28 °/oo in late August to 32.93 °/oo in late March.

(fig. 6, table 6)

Surface water temperatures were preponderantly subnormal in
all seasons but there were only six new record low decads. The anomalies
are generally smaller than those at Nantucket Shoals lightship although
in considering the relative continentality of these two locations one

“would expect ane opposite result.

Surface salinity ranged between 31.50 °/oo and 31.60 °/oo
for the decads from early January through early June, rose irregularly
through the summer, and was between 32.00 °/oo and 32.49 °/oo for the
last third of the year.

Ambrose Channel Lightship (fig. 8, table 8)

The subnormal air temperatures along the coast of the
Middle Atlantic States are reflected in the surface water tempera -
tures which were below average most of the year at this observation
post. Low records were set in 14 decads.

Bottom water temperature set low records in 6 decads.
Bottom temperatures were subnormal in a majority of the decads.

The salinity minimum came in late April, which is about
the normal time. Salinities were above normal in most decads from
early April through early November.

Barnegat Lightship (fig. 9, table 9)

Surface water temperatures were below normal in about two-
thirds of the decads reported and four record lows were observed.

Bottom temperature showed 10 record lows and most of the
decads from mid-April through December were colder than normal,

The lowest surface salinity observed was in early June but
the data for parts of April and May are missing. The average time of
the minimum is in mid-May. Surface salinities were generally below
average in the first quarter and above average during the remainder
of the year. The water column was apparently more nearly isohaline

than is usual during the period of the summer thermocline along this
section of the coast.

Five Fathom Bank Lightship (fig. 10, table 10)

It was a cold year at Five Fathom Bank Lightship also.
Water temperatures were below normal in about two-thirds of the
decads at both surface and bottom. There were record lows in 12
decads at each level. ;

The minimum in surface salinity came in early June,
the normal time. As at Barnegat Lightship salinities were below
normal during most of the first 3 months but were predominantly
above normal during the rest of the year.

Delaware Lightship (fig. 11, table 11)

Temperature trends at this lightship were similar to those
at Five Fathom Bank Lightship. There were 8 record low decads of
surface temperature and 13 of bottom temperature.

Surface salinity was at a minimum in late August and at a
secondary minimum in early May. The normal curve for this station
has no sharp minimum. As at nearby stations, salinities were
generally below normal early in the year and above normal later.

Quarter Lightships. )

Chesapeake Lightship and Light Station (fig. 12, table 12)

Surface water temperatures were near normal during most of
the year in spite of ‘the prevailing subnormal air temperatures. An
exception to the general rule was the cold period of the first 2
decads of May when records were broken at both surface and bottom.
Air temperatures were above normal most of May.

The salinity minimum, 28.08 °/oo for the last decad of May,
is the second lowest value in the period of record.

Diamond Shoal Lightship (fig. 13, table 13)

Surface water temperatures generally were below normal early
in the year and above normal during the last 4 months. There were
record low temperatures in mid-February and late June and record highs
in mid-October and early November. Bottom temperatures were not ob-
Served regularly during the year but record lows were established in
middle and late June.

Surface salinity was low during most of the first half of the
year and high during most of the second half. Apparently coastal waters
predominated early in the year whereas Gulf Stream water was more
prevalent in the latter half (cf. surface temperature).

Frying Pan Shoals Light Station (fig. 14, table’ 14)

Surface water temperatures and air temperatures were near
normal in all seasons. However, a small trend toward below normal
water temperatures early in the year and above normal water
temperatures later is apparent (cf. Diamond Shoal Lightship).
There was a record low in late July.

Observations of bottom temperature were incomplete but
record lows were recorded for late August and early October.

The minimum decadal surface salinity came in early May.
Salinity was below normal in all decads through mid-June and above
normal in all decads from mid-September through December (cf.
Diamond Shoal Lightship).

As the Nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has basic
responsibilities for water, fish, wildlife, mineral, land, park, and recreational resources. Indian and
Territorial affairs are other major concerns of America’s “Department of Natural Resources.”

The Department works to assure the wisest choice in managing all our resources so each will
make its full contribution to.a better United States—now and in the future.
