Time-dependent Vertical Temperature Measurements across the Water-sediment Interface on the Continental Shelf West of Oregon

Abstract

A THERMOPROBE capable of measuring temperatures both 2.5 m into the sediment and in the water up to 3.3 m above the sediment has been designed, constructed and used to monitor the temperatures across the water-sediment interface at oceanic stations west of Oregon.
