Studies of the waters on the continental shelf, Cape Cod to Chesapeake Bay. I. The cycle of temperature
1933
Bigelow, Henry Bryant
When the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, in cooperation with the Museum of ComparativeZoology, commenced the oceanographic survey of the Gulf of Maine in the summer of1912 (Bigelow, 1925-1927), it was in the hope that this might later be extended to thecoastal waters thence southward; eventually even as far as the Gulf of Mexico.Cruises carried out in connection with investigations of the biology of the mackerel,by the Fisheries' steamer "Albatross II" from 1927 to 1932, supplemented by those of theresearch ship "Atlantis" of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, have made itpossible to extend the detailed examination of the physical oceanography of the continentalshelf as far as the offing of Chesapeake Bay, and to the offing of Cape Hatterasfor some of the months.The present account of the temperature of the region will, it is hoped, be followedshortly by corresponding accounts of salinity, of circulation and of the dominant planktonic communities.
