Abstract

The most important physical parameters of seawater are presented for an area within the San Andres and Providencia archipelago, between Providencia Island and Cayo Bajo Nuevo island, Colombia. Seven oceanographic stations were sampled from September 19th through September 21st, 2016, collecting CTD data up to a maximum depth of 1000 meters. With the collected data, temperature, salinity and density profiles were obtained, as well as the vertical distribution for the same variables along the entire transect. A general description of this parameters was made, identifying high salinity values greater than 37 in all stations up to a maximum of 37.11, for the North Atlantic subtropical underwater water mass (NASTU) at a depth of 150 m approximately, an elevated value for the Western Caribbean Sea that apparently has been present in the last decade.
