Extract

Dr Pettersson has recently published a paper on “Gezeitenaehnliche Bewegungen des Tiefenwassers” (Publications de Circonstance, No. 47), in which he describes certain movements in the deep waters of the Skagerak observed in January, February, and March 1909 at the Swedish station Bornö, in the Gullmarfjord, lat. 58° 24′ N., long. 11° 33′E. The observations were taken daily at 12.30 p.m. by means of soundings made through the ice. The diagram accompanying this paper is a reproduction of a diagram prepared by Dr Pettersson, and shows the observed variations in the position of the isotherms and isohalines. No observations appear to have been made on 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th February, nor from 15th to 18th March, so that there are large interpolations on the diagram. Fig. 1 is a map of the Skagerak, the point of observation being marked by a cross.
