Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Surface Temperature of the North Sea and of the North Atlantic When we have defined, in regard to the main temperature wave, the mean-value and the half-range, we get, by addition or subtraction of this latter value from the former, to what we may call the Mean Maximum and the Mean Minimum temperatures. They are not strictly the mean maxima or mean minima of the year, for to determine these we should have to take into our calculations the in uence of the half-yearly and other higher oscillations of temper ature. But as a rule even the half-yearly uctuation is of no great magnitude, and the higher oscillations are very small indeed, so small that we can scarcely say whether they are real phenomena or (as is much more probable) are mere appearances due to our imperfect data. In any case, the approximate Mean Maxima and Minima, as we have defined them, - the maxima and minima, that is to say, of the fundamental sine-wave, - are features of considerable interest, whose local variations are often well worth studying. Let us now begin, after this short introduction, to consider the main results of our temperature investigations. Our object is to understand the temperature phenomena of the North Sea, and of the waters which surround the other coasts of our own islands. But all our coastal waters are but a part of the great system of waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and we cannot properly understand any of our local phenomena without some preliminary knowledge of the ocean temperatures of the whole North Atlantic basin. The temperature phenomena of the ocean are closely inter connected with the system of ocean currents; and these in turn are correlated with the system of prevailing winds, and are greatly affected by the form itself of the ocean-basin. Were the whole globe covered by a shoreless ocean, the distribu tion of temperature therein would be comparatively simple; and in the absence of wind it would be very simple indeed. For the main phenomenon would be that of a steady cooling of the surface of the sea from the Equator towards the poles, the temperature varying from a maximum at the one to a minimum at the other, as a simple function of the cosine of the latitude, At the same time, the waters of the ocean would not be stationary; for the waters cooled in the neighbourhood of the pole would be rendered heavier thereby, and would tend to sink, while the warmer and lighter waters farther south would always tend to oat over the colder and heavier layers. There would, in short, be a steady drift to the northward of warm surface waters from the Equator, while the cold waters of the pole would form a steady return-current at the bottom. The obvious effect as regards the surface temperatures would be that at any point14 Fishery Board for Scotland.

Book Climate Development and History of the North Atlantic Realm

Download or read book Climate Development and History of the North Atlantic Realm written by Gerold Wefer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-05-14 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global environment is changing rapidly under the impact of human activities. An important element in this change is related to global climate modification. Experts from the natural and social sciences with a strong interest in history discussed common topics of great interest to society. Can the study of climate and history help in devising strategies for coping with this change? What might be the type of information most useful in this context? What are the pitfalls awaiting the unwary? These and similar questions were discussed during a four-day workshop. The resulting proceedings contain comprehensive papers of broad interest, thematic back-ground papers and reports of study groups. Apart from scientists, the papers should interest graduate students and lecturers.

Book Prediction of the 400 foot Temperature in the North Atlantic

Download or read book Prediction of the 400 foot Temperature in the North Atlantic written by P. A. Mazeika and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equations for computing mean temperature at 400 feet in the North Atlantic in terms of mean annual surface temperature and its amplitude have been derived from BT data collected at five ocean weather stations and in three other widely separated areas. By use of temperature anomaly values at 400 feet, as related to mean surface temperature anomalies, the temperature at 400 feet can be predicted several days in advance with an approximation of 1.1 F.
