The report contains a series of oceanographic stations taken at an icehole 3 miles offshore in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica during the austral winter of 1960-1961. Data on temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, current, and bottom sediment are presented along with notes on marine life. Appendix A contains a tabulation of oceanographic data for 28 stations and Appendix B, the analysis of 14 bottom sediment samples. (Author).
The literature search was conducted in order to determine the amount and type of reliable antarctic ice data available and to tabulate the distribution and characteristics of these data. In this search, approximately 900 bibliography cards were examined. Of these 900 cards, about 400 sources were evaluated, and some 45 were tabulated. In addition, a list of supplementary sources is presented. (Author).
Annals of the International Geophysical Year, Volume 46: Oceanography covers the program of oceanographic studies conducted during the International Geophysical Year (IGY). The program includes long wave and sea level recording, deep water circulation, polar front survey, and multipleship current measurement. This book is composed of six chapters and begins with the objective and aims of the oceanographic program and the national contributions to this program. The succeeding chapters discuss the problem in delineating sea-level cycle and the results of the North Atlantic Polar Front Survey in the IGY. These topics are followed by a survey of the results from many oceanographical expeditions. Particularly good results were obtained during the IGY period by the use of special large-scale precision automatic recorders of the phototelegraph station type. The last chapter describes the artificial radioactivity in the oceans consisting mainly of fission products of U235, Pu239 and U238 from reactors and nuclear explosion devices. This book is of value to geophysicists, and marine scientists and researchers.
