32653 Daily_Temps Entity Published / External 26634 Long term Milford Lab Temperature and Salinity Data Data Set Completed Daily seawater temperatures in degrees Centigrade (°C). From 1948 - 1974 daily readings of seawater temperatures were hand transcribed from charts from a Bristol Recording Thermograph, installed in a small building on the Laboratory's dock. The dock is located on the Wepawaug River, a small esturine tidal river that joins Long Island Sound about 300 meters to the south. From 1975 - present, data were collected with the Laboratory at the sandfilter system. Seawater is pumped from Milford Harbor into a head tank on the roof of the building and then travels through pipes to the sand filter. Consequently, these data may reflect slight differences in temperature, compared to earlier readings taken directly from the harbor. Initially, Laboratory temperature measurements were made with a hand held thermometer. Hydrometer readings, corrected to 17.5 °C, were used to measure salinity. From the late 1990s on, an electronic digital temperature and salinity meter was used. Loaded by batch 8763, 05-06-2016 10:31 Spreadsheet Yes Daily seawater temperatures in degrees Centigrade (°C).
