of Intense vertical mixing, tends to prorluce sub-norinpl temperatures 



in the Boy of Fundy. Finnlly, there is n body of water found to the 



eqstwnrd of station 942. This body of water, with temperatures 



o o o 



between 10 and 7 C. and salinities between 32.1 and 33.0 /oo, is 



found to enter the Bay of Fundy, after undergoing considerable mixing 



in passing around the southern coast of Nova Scotia. 



At stations 940 and 942 consider^'ble upv/elling is seen to be taking 

 place as indicated by the nearness of the higher density water to the 

 surface (figure 5). Considerations of the slopes of the Isopycnals 

 indicate that there are three vaster movements through this section. 

 On the left, from stntion 940 to the coast of Kaine the v/aters are 

 moving out of the Bay of Fundy, while from station 942 to the coast 

 of Nova Scotia the waters arc moving into the Bay of Fundy. These 

 movements are also indicated by the temperature and salinity character- 

 istics. Between stations 940 and 942 there appears to be cloclcv/ise 

 circulation about station 941, which partakes of the nature of counter 

 currents . 



Section 956-962, in the central part of the Bay of Fundy, shows 

 a greater influence by river outflow -^s indicated by the increased 

 temperatures and lowered salinities in the main body of w^^ter. This 

 transition is more readily noted in the decrease in density [0^^' 

 (figure 5), The strong tidal m^ixing is not as appreciable in the 

 central part of the Bay as it is south of Grand Manan, and the 

 waters are more stratified, as is seen in sections 956-962 and 968= 

 963. On approaching the head of the Bay of Fundy the influence of 

 the tides becomes greater until the waters are nearly completely 

 mixed as in section 658-664, In the central portion of the Bay of 

 Fundy, there is considerable upwelllng along the Rova Scotia coast
