Appendix: Environmental variables in May-June

Temperature and salinity deviations from the 1961-1980 average (3.288°C and 34.727). Weighted mean from 0-200 m depth at stations 1-5 on the Siglunes section. The table also shows the average zooplankton biomass (g dry weight m^-2) in 0-50 m on the Siglunes section. The last column shows the calculated freshwater thickness (m) at stations 2 and 3 on the Látrabjarg section. The sampling day at the Siglunes section is also shown (Julian day).
