Vertical Water Temperature Profiles at Rocas Alijos

  • Chapter
Rocas Alijos

Part of the book series: Monographiae Biologicae ((MOBI,volume 75))

Abstract

During the 1990 Cordell Expedition to Rocas Alijos, measurements of the vertical temperature profiles were made at several locations near the exposed rocks. In this paper we report these measurements, and interpret them as evidence of an isothermal mixing layer near the surface and barrier-induced upwelling.
