TM 172 Table 3

Home Table 3. Summary statistics for gridding residuals for the Middle Atlantic Bight (Route MB) and Gulf of Maine (Route MC). (Route MB single-year residuals resulted from gridding of all surface and bottom temperature and surface salinity data from 1978 through 2001. Route MC single-year surface salinity residuals resulted from gridding only data from 1978 though 1993. Base-period residuals resulted from gridding of all data from 1978 through 1990. Normality was based on the Kolomogorov D statistic.)
