Appendix A 



Resolutions of the International Council for the Study of the Sea 



September — 1912 



Section 



At the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the International Council for the Investigation 

 of the Sea, held at Copenhagen the 18th— 21st September 1912, the following 

 resolutions were passed: — 



Resolution 1. 



Hydrographical One, and if possible also a second extensive seasonal cruise is to be carried 



out every year. For 1912 November is recommended, for 1913 May. As to 

 further details, attention is drawn to the protocol of the Hydrographical Section. 



Resolution 2. 



A fortnight's hydrographical observations are to be undertaken once a year in the 

 Skager Rak and the North Sea from ships at anchor, by the following countries: 

 Sweden, Germany, Holland, England and Scotland. The observations are, as far as 

 possible to be carried out simultaneously, at times and places which from year to 

 year are to be determined by the Council, or by correspondence. 



The definite selection of locality and date of the fortnight's observations at 

 anchor during the summer 1913 should, if possible, be postponed till the results of 

 the 1912 observations are available. However, in order to secure uniformity, the first 

 half of August is provisionally considered most suitable. 



Resolution 3. 



Simultaneously with the hydrographie investigations mentioned in Resolution 

 Nr. 2, observations should be carried out, in the same way as in August 1912, on 

 the following lightships: Horns Rev, Borkum, Terschellingerbank, West Hinder, Varne, 

 Smith's Knoll and Outer Dowsing. 



Resolution 4. 



It is desirable that observations of temperature and salinity along sections off 

 the Scottish and English coasts be carried out on the same scale as heretofore.
