Kingston, Rhode Island (Figure 9, Table 9) 



surface temperatures at the Narragansett Marine Laboratory 

 pier are compared with the mean for the period 1878-1943 at Brenton 

 Reef Lightship, which is A. 5 miles SSE of the pier in 90 fathoms of 

 water. As should be expected the shoal inshore water has a greater 

 temperature range, being colder in winter and warmer in summer than the 

 offshore waters.
