Ambrose Lightship (Figure 10, Table 10) 



The data are sparse, since the vessel was off station in late 

 spring and early fall. During the summer the BT did not function 

 properly below 50 feet so no bottom readings are available. What 

 data there are, however, agree with trends seen at other stations. 



Salinity values followed the pattern seen in earlier years. 

 The minimum probably occurred in late April or early May and was 

 not observed.
