Frying Pan Shoals Light Station (fig. 14, table' 14) 



Surface water temperatures and air temperatures were near 

 normal in all seasons. However, a small trend toward below normal 

 water temperatures early in the year and above normal water 

 temperatures later is apparent (cf. Diamond Shoal Lightship). 

 There was a record low in late July. 



Observations of bottom temperature were incomplete but 

 record lows were recorded for late August and early October. 



The minimum decadal surface salinity came in early May. 

 Salinity was below normal in all decads through mid-June and above 

 normal in all decads from mid-September through December (cf . 

 Diamond Shoal Lightship) .
