MARCH 



Continued warming throughout tlie month, with well above normal 

 air temperatures on the Ttli and 25th generally throughout the New- 

 fovmdland-Labrador coastal oceanic regions, abetted faster than nor- 

 mal pack ice deterioration and increased sea surface temperatures. The 

 southernmost jaenetration of ice for the month occurred on the 11th 

 when pack ice and many growlers drifted to 47°30' N., 52°30' W. 

 Several growlers drifted to 46°55' N., 52° 15' W. where they quickly 

 deteriorated. The easternmost penetration of the pack ice occurred on 

 the 18th with drift to 48°20' N., 50°40' W. 



Only a few bergs were in evidence around Fogo Island. No more 

 than eight small to very small bergs were ever observed south of Belle 

 Isle. By tlie end of the montli, only very open pack existed south of 

 51° N. and tlie only berg noted was the one that had been observed 

 several weeks prior and was still aground near Fogo Island. Refer to
