C-por^es Shoal , Texas Tower ^2 



Surface water temperature readings commenced on Georges bhoal 

 on 21 Aoril 1956, well after the winter minliium, and surface and bottom 

 salinities are available for short periods from time to time. 



Surface terriperatures reached clir;htly over 60-^F in mid-Septem- 

 ber. Values for other depths are not given herein inasmuch as all bathy- 

 thermograms indicated an isotheTnal condition. 



Surface salinities ran-^ied between 32.3 and 33cO°/00. The 

 occasional bottom salinity samples collected yielded salinity values 

 vdthin several h^mdredths of a °/00 oi the surface salinity, so it is 

 reasonable to assume the water at this location was completely mixed 

 from top to bottom (56').
