THERMOGRAPH NETWORK STATIONS

The stations included in the permanent thermograph network are selected through a process involving numerous consultations. The program aims to cover all coastal and offshore areas of the estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence using a minimum of stations. Good spatial and temporal coverage should permit the creation of a climatology atlas for this zone while also meeting shorter-term needs for this type of data.
