In a previously published statement (Parr 1937, b) the writer has listed ihe main reasons why, in the present state of our knowledge of the actual as distinct from the ideal dynamics of ocean currents, he feels inclined to take greater confidence in the evidence of the actual paths of How obtained from a study of the identifying properties of the water masses, than in the con clusions reac…
In spite of the fact that many marine observers are aware that sea water has a remarkable foaming capacity, there has not been any scientific study of this subject. However, the foaming capacity may be of considerable importance in oceanography. For instance, there must be an intimate relation between the Beaufort scale and the foaming of sea water, since there is no doubt that aspects of white…
Corrections have to be applied to the readings of protected and unprotected reversing thermometers because they are read at a temp erature that differs from that at the time of reversal. In deriving these corrections it is generally assumed that Feruglio’s (1912) equa tion [(5) below] is exact. It is shown here that Feruglio’s equation is not quite exact, but a close approximation. Fro…
