13. ABSTRACT 



Thermal structure of a rectangular area approximately 140 kilometers on 

 a side contiguous to the Continental Shelf northeast of Cape Hatteras was in- 

 vestigated between 19 September and 13 October 1968. Major features included an area 

 of warm (>21''C) surface water inshore of the northern wall of the Gulf Stream and 

 a strong sound channel impinging upon the Continental Slope. A subsurface tem- 

 perature maximum was observed beneath warm Surface water at 70 percent of all 

 deepwater stations. Zero layer depths occurred at 56 percent of relatively cold 

 «19''C) water stations over the Continental Shelf, These features persisted 

 throughout the survey.
