8. Personal Activities 



In the following lines brief descriptions will be given on the per- 

 sonal activities in all fields of physical oceanography. These have been 

 enabled by a friendly cooperation of the individual research worker 

 by informing me of the results of his work in this period. I hereby 

 express my deepest thanks to these authors for their kind cooperation. 



Sea Water 



During World War II, Japan was obliged to prepare the stand- 

 ard sea water herself for titrating the salinity. After the end of hos- 

 tilities this was sent to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and 

 the Department of Oceanography, University of Washington, for com- 

 parison; and it was found that our standard sea water did not differ 

 by more than /0.02°/oo CI compared with the Copenhagen water. The 

 preparation has been sponsored chiefly by Y. Miyake, chairman of a 

 committee especially appointed for this purpose (GM, 20, 1949, 101- 

 104). Miyake and Katsuko Saruhashi planned to devise a micro titration 

 of chlorinity. They made a micro-pipette of 1.5 cc. content and a 

 micro-burette graduated to 0.001 cc. and used a silver nitrate solution
