Five Fathom Bank Lightship (fig. 10, table 10) 



It was a cold year at Five Fathom Bank Lightship also. 

 Water temperatures were below normal in about two-thirds of the 

 decads at both surface and bottom. There were record lows in 12 

 decads at each level. 



The minimum in surface salinity came in early June, 

 the normal time. As at Barnegat Lightship salinities were below 

 normal during most of the first 3 months but were predominantly 

 above normal during the rest of the year.
