The Variation of Water Temperature at Bottom in Bay Mouth of Jiaozhou Bay

Abstract

Abstract According to investigation data of Jiaozhou Bay in May, August and October of 1979, the variation and horizontal distribution of water temperature at bottom in Jiaozhou Bay were studied. The results showed that in May, August and October, the variation was 10.90-23.97°C. From May to October, the water temperature was more than 10.90°C, and the variation range reached 13.07°C, showing that the water temperature at bottom was high. The variation range was 10.90-11.80°C in May, 22.50-23.97°C in August and 17.62-18.39°C in October. In inside waters and bay mouth, the variation range was 0.00°C in May, 0.01°C in August and 0.00°C in October. And in outside waters, bay mouth and inside waters, it was 0.90°C in May, 1.02°C in August and 0.77°C in October. The water temperature reached 11.80°C in May and 23.97°C in August in inside waters, and 18.39°C in October in outside waters, forming the high-temperature respectively. In May, August and October, at bottom, the water temperature in bay mouth was consistent with the high temperature in inside waters or outside waters.
