Pacific Region Ocean Sciences Data |
Contours of Average Temperature and Salinity in the Gulf of Alaska Figures at this site show contours of median temperature and salinity through the Gulf of Alaska. Summer and winter figures are presented separately at each of 46 depths through the gulf. Temperature and salinity at 10 m depth for summer are shown below. Animations These figures are based on data collected from the archives of the Marine Environmental Data Service in Ottawa, the Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney BC, the National Ocean Data Service in Washington, DC, and from Project Argo. Observations from seasons impacted by severe El Niño and La Niña events were excluded from the analysis. As a result, we assign the name "neutral" to denote the years represented by these figures. Animations You will need Quicktime to view these video clips. Download Quicktime. Please note that the videos will take a few seconds to load, depending on your computer.
These images were prepared by Jake Galbraith of Victoria, BC, and by Bill Crawford of the Ocean Sciences Division of Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Sidney, BC. Contact Bill Crawford for more details of the analysis. (crawfordb@pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca) Top of page
