Abstract
Indian Arm (49°30′N, 122°53′W), one of the characteristic fjords of the coast of British Columbia, was intensively studied during 35 approximately monthly cruises during 1956 through 1959, with the main objective of determining the annual cycle of its oceanographic features. Unique in its duration of a British Columbia fjord study, this observational time series of the distributional patterns of salinity, temperature, density, dissolved oxygen and climate is presented, and used to analyze the circulation pattern and replenishment mechanism of fjord waters.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
