A NOTE ON UPPER OCEAN TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA IN AUGUST 1992

Fernández-Barajas et al. (1994) report results of hydrographic measurements at the entrance to the Gulf of California m August 1992. During this cruise, the CTD was improperly calibrated, and this resulted in anomalously high (low) near-surface temperatures (salinities) being reported. Fernández- Ba...

Sumario:Fernández-Barajas et al. (1994) report results of hydrographic measurements at the entrance to the Gulf of California m August 1992. During this cruise, the CTD was improperly calibrated, and this resulted in anomalously high (low) near-surface temperatures (salinities) being reported. Fernández- Bara,jas et al. (1994) incorrectly attribute these anomalous surface conditions to the 1991-1993 El Niño and tropical storm Lester.
