Fig 2. Temperature time series section constructed
from 7 temperature-pressure pods on the MAK-1 mooring distributed
between 110 m and 290 m. Due to a ~300 m mooring blowover by
strong semi-diurnal tidal currents, a continuous pressure-time
section was obtained: Each temperature-pressure pod effectively
sampled 4 vertical profiles per day. (Instrument failures reduce
the time series to less than 1 year, rather than the full mooring
deployment.) The data have been smoothed by a 35 day gaussian
filter. The 15°C isotherm shallows 50 db between November
1997 and January 1998, with the 200 db temperature cooling 2°C
over the same time interval.
