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 excerpt: Excerpt from Oceanographic Observations, North Atlantic Ocean Station Echo: November 1967-December 1968 The data collected during 14 patrols on Ocean Station echo from 28 November 1967 to 5 December 1968 were analyzed to determine if annual cycles of temperature and salinity could be observed (figs. 44 and Changes in sur face layer temperature followed a seasonal pat tern, reaching a maximum in midsummer and a minimum during the colder winter months. Salinity also varied with the seasons, generally increasing and decreasing in phase with the temperature. The salinity cycle, however, was not as well defined as the temperature cycle. The annual temperature cycle at echo dur ing the observational period consisted of a cooling trend in the surface water from N ovember 1967 through February 1968. By late January, the cooling effect extended to a depth of 200 m. The minimum surface temperature was recorded on 1 March 1968, after which a gradual warming of the surface layer was noted. After remaining relatively constant during April and May 1968, the sea surface temperature began to increase until the maxi mum temperature value was reached on 1 August 1968. Temperature values re mained near the maximum value through Sep tember before cooling caused a gradual decline throughout the remainder of the observational period. During November and December 1967, the water column was isothermal to a depth of about 85 m. As cooling continued, the depth of the isothermal layer increased. By late Jan uary 1968, it had reached a maximum depth of about 200 m. During March and April 1968, the surface water layer began warming slowly. Below the gradually deepening layer of warmer surface water, the water column remained iso thermal to almost 200 m. By May 1968, surface heating and wind mixing had combined to destroy the subsurface isothermal layer. As the surface water mass began to cool in September, an isothermal layer developed and had reached a depth of 100 m by early December 1968.
