Figure 1. (a) Plot of temperature as a function of depth across all types of profiles within the study area. Temperature profile types included coarse-resolution profiles of depth and temperature (PDT, 2011–2014) recovered from SPLASH tag deployments on four species of cetaceans, as well as moderate- to high-resolution sampling from neutrally buoyant Argo profiling floats (PFL, 2004–2013) and conductivity temperature depth instruments (CTD, 1990–2013) from the World Ocean Database (WOD). Modified box plots have been overlaid on these profiles showing the central tendency (median) and depth variation of the even numbered isotherms between 4°C and 24°C. (b) Map showing sampling locations of these three types of temperature profile data that were employed in statistical descriptions of thermal structure in the NW Bahamas. The study area boundary and major geographic and oceanographic features are also labeled. The line features used to calculate the distance proxies across the Providence Channels (dchan) and distance from the Florida Strait (dflst) are highlighted in bold.
