View larger version (16K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. Distribution of stations for mid-summer shelfwide surveys and more frequent sampling along transect C. Stations C6A and C6B are locations of moored instruments; station C6, not shown, is between C6A and C6B. C6* is composite data for stations C6A, C6B, and C6. Starred stations approximate the 20-m isobath
