"Michael Sars" North Atlantic Deep-sea Expedition (1910); Oceanography; North Atlantic Ocean. PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY 241. (per cent) from the normal annual rainfall, (H.) for Chris- tiania, (HI.) for Bergen, (IV.) for Germany; (V.) shows the divergences in Norway during the months of October, November, and December. On the whole, the rainfall corresponds well with the transverse section of the coast-water some time after- wards. The rainfall was comparatively small in 1902, and the coast-water had a small transverse section in May 1903 ; the rainfall was large in 1903, and there was much coast-water in May 1904, and so on. The effect of the rainfall on the land is not immediately felt in the coast-current off western Norway ; there is a delay which lani tars') / seems to make it possible to predict some time be- forehand if there is going to be much or little coast- water. This is an ex- ample of the predictions likely to be undertaken in the future, when the sea and the air have been more closely studied. We shall now, after these introductory re- marks, examine the ver- tical distribution of salinity in some different places, as found in the cruise Fig. 166.—Curves showino the Variations in of the " Michael ; I. the transverse section of the coast-water off Feje pTJo- i f\i rp-nrf^cp^ntc fhf^ (May); II., III., IV., the annual rainfall for Chris- ^ ^- , ^y icpiCbCllLb LUC tiania, Bergen, and Germany respectively; V., the phySICal COnditlOnS a little . ^,___ xr ^ ._. ^^ ^^^ north of the Sar- Sargasso Sea gasso Sea, at Station 65, ""^sion. on 25th June 1910.
