Woods Hole, Massachusetts, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Pier 

 (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 the 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.
