Temporal and fine-scale variation in the biogeochemistry of Jervis Bay

CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub Jervis Bay Survey Report, February 2009The surface and bottom salinity data are summarised as contour plots in Figures 10 and11. Surface salinities generally ranged between 34.6 and 35.5, with a patch of lowersalinity water two-thirds of the way along the grid. Bottom salinities were more restrictedand generally ranged between 35.5 and 35.8, with a patch of higher salinity water aboutone-third of the way along the grid.-35.095Surface salinity35.535.4-35.135.3Latitude-35.105-35.1135.235.135-35.11534.9-35.1234.834.7-35.12534.6150.72 150.73 150.74 150.75 150.76LongitudeFigure 10: Contour plot of surface salinity measured on 12 and 13 February, 2009.14
