A lengthly time series is already available for Borden on Prince Edward
Island. This is one of the few stations where temperatures have been recorded
in winter as well as summer. The thermographs are installed in a PVC cylinder
attached to the public wharf at Borden. One was located 50 centimeters
below the surface (it was taken out of service in 1996); the other is
on the seabed, at a depth of 3 meters. Year after year, this station exhibits
the highest mean monthly temperature in the entire thermograph network.
Northumberland Strait therefore represents the warmest region in the Gulf
of St. Lawrence during the summer.
