Long Term Monitoring of Sea Surface Salinity at Hopkins Marine Station (1919-1964)
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
The Pacific Grove station was operated by the Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University from 1919 until it was discontinued in 1975. Surface salinity samples were collected approximately daily from a beach on the north side of Point Cabrillo just north of Hopkins' main laboratory buildings. This location is exposed to the northwest swell as it sweeps past Point Pinos, so is representative of coastal conditions.
Salinity was determined by the standard hydrometric method until May 1955, by a Knudsen titration through July 1962, and from August 1962-1975 by induction salinometry.
