512 EIGHTH PACIFIC SCIENCE CONGRESS 



3. "Surface Waters off the Canadian Pacific Coast" by J. P. Tully 

 and L. A. E. Doe, Pacific Oceanographic Group, Fisheries Research 

 Board of Canada, Nanaimo, B.C., Canada. Read by J. P. Tully. With 

 slides. 



Discussion 



WooSTER— What is the West Wind Drift referred to, the Aleutian Drift 

 or the West Wind Current? 



Tully— There is a change of properties through the Aleutian Drift and 

 the West Wind Current. 



Pettersson— We have been struggling for 20 years on a synoptic repre- 

 sentation off the northwest coast of Europe; it becomes more and 

 more complicated. The North Pacific Ocean must be an ideal 

 'hunting ground', better than off the northwest coast of Europe. 



Tully— W^e do not expect eddies to be constant; if we could once see 

 a whole picture then we can realize the general principle, although 

 we can say this is only transient. 



4. "Circulation near the Washington Coast" by Clifford A. Barnes 

 and Robert G. Paquette, Department of Oceanography, University of 

 Washington, Seattle, Washington, U.S.A. Read by Dr. Barnes. With 

 slides. 



Discussion 

 DiFTZ— Is there mixing or sinking? 

 Barnes— There is no evidence. Water coming out is stable. The very 



shallow surface layer is turbid at times. 

 Spilhaus— Have the G. E. K. velocities been corrected for the group 



factor? 

 Barnes— Yes. 



5. "U. S. Navy Contributions to the Study of Pacific Circulation" 

 by John Lyman, Director, Division of Oceanography, U. S. Navy Hy- 

 drographic Office, Washington, D.C., U.S.A. Read by title only. 



6. "On the Variation of Kuroshio near the Japan Islands" by D. 

 Shoji and K. Suda, Hydrographic Office, Tokyo, Japan. Read by Dr. 

 Suda, With slides. 



7. "Sedimentation in the Deep Sea" by Hans Pettersson, Oceano- 

 grafisca Institutet, Goteborg 4, Sweden. Read by the author. With 

 slides.
