Temperature, Density, and Salinity Graphs

Analyze one of the buoy locations at a time. Click the three thumbnail images to bring up the temperature, salinity, and density graphs in separate windows. Adjust the graphs' window sizes by dragging the lower right corner so you can view more than one graph at a time.

Buoy B
Graph of water temp at buoy B

Graph of salinity at buoy b

Graph of density at buoy b


Buoy E
Graph of water temp at buoy e

Graph of salinity at buoy e

Graph of density at buoy e


Buoy I
Graph of water temp at buoy i

Graph of salinity at buoy i

Graph of density at buoy i


Buoy M
Graph of water temp at buoy m

Graph of salinity at buoy m

Graph of density at buoy m


After you have made your prediction about the timing of the spring phytoplankton bloom, you can check it against the chlorophyll graphs for the buoys.
