Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Seawater temperature and salinity moored time-series records, collected during 2010 and 2011 in Vieques Sound and Virgin Passage (NCEI Accession 0077910)

browse graphicPreview graphic
Sea-Bird SBE37SM MicroCat Conductivity/Temperature (CT) recorders were deployed between March 2010 and April 2011 on shallow water moorings located in Vieques Sound, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Passage USVI. The recovered temperature, conductivity, and salinity (derived from temperature and conductivity) time-series data are presented here in an ACII format.

These temperature and salinity data were collected for the purpose of examining flow through Virgin Passage (between Culebra, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, USVI) and into and out of Vieques Sound (between Culebra, Puerto Rico and Vieques, Puerto Rico) in the US Caribbean.
