Book excerpt: This report presents and analyzes water temperature and salinity data collected during 11 mesopelagic resource inventory cruises in the continental slope region between 55 and 65 degrees west longitude. The data analysis results define water mass boundary positions in the upper 450 meters during the period of each cruise. Charts of surface boundary conditions based on satellite infrared imagery aid in interpreting the cruise data, and small numbers of bathythermograph casts to 1830 meters and conductivity-temperature-depth recorder casts to 1000 meters provide data for deeper waters. The report also describes the variation of temperature and salinity over time at a fixed location (41 degrees north, 61 degrees 30 minutes west) based on three occupations for periods of 1.5 to 3.5 days.
