Texas Tower #4 (off New York) (fig. 12, 

 table 12) --With only 1959 for comparison, little 

 can be said of the temperature regime at this 

 station. The curve of 10-day mean values 

 shows cons ider ably more fluctuation than would 

 be expected at an offshore station and un- 



80r 



doubtedly reflects advective processes near 

 the boundary of shelf and slope waters. 



Between September 12 and 13 surface tem- 

 peratures dropped by more than 6° F. as a 

 result of the passage of hurricane Donna.
