Two side-by-side heatmaps titled “Ocean Temperature by Depth in Nova Scotia.” The left panel shows shallow water (2 m) and the right panel shows deep water (40 m). The x-axis displays years from 2018 to 2025, and the y-axis lists months from January to December. Each cell is colored on a blue gradient representing average temperature, with darker blues indicating colder temperatures and lighter blues indicating warmer temperatures. Missing data appears as grey tiles scattered across some months and years. In the shallow water panel, temperatures show strong seasonal variation: darker blues (colder) in winter months (January–March), transitioning to much lighter blues (warmer) in summer (July–September), then cooling again toward December. In the deep water panel, temperatures are more stable across months, with less contrast between seasons, though slightly warmer tones appear in late summer and early autumn. Overall, shallow waters exhibit larger seasonal temperature swings than deep waters.
