COUNCIL - SEPT. 1912 - APPENDIX A — 60 — 



Resolution 5. 



Continual hydrographie observations of current, temperature and salinity as 

 well at the surface as in the deep-water are if possible to be made throughout the 

 whole year from lightships in the Baltic and the Gattegat. The current-measurements 

 are to be made 3 — 6 times a day at the surface and at two intermediate depths, 

 together with simultaneous records of the direction and force of the wind. The ob- 

 servations of temperature and samples for titrimetrical determination of the salinity 

 are to be taken at the surface and in two (or more) intermediate depths three to 

 four times every month. As places where such observations are especially desirable, 

 the following may be pointed out : Plevna, Nahkiainen, Nordströmsgrund, Helsingkallan, 

 Snipan, Storkallegrund, Relandersgrund, Westra Banken, Storbrotten, Werkkomatala, 

 Äransgrund, Revalstein, Nekmangrund, Almagrund, Libauer, Adlergrund, Fehmarnbelt, 

 Schultz's Grund, Anholt Knob and Fladen. 



Res olution 6. 



That a hydrographical laboratory be established in Gopenhagen under the di- 

 rection of Prof. Knudsen for providing and testing instruments and distributing them 

 by sale. A Credit of 4600 Kr. is voted for this purpose, including 3600 Kr. for 

 providing a stock of instruments and 1000 Kr. for additional expenses. 



Resolution 7. 



The hydrographical Section recommends that material be collected for the 

 drawing up of charts of surface salinity and temperature for the whole region of the 

 North Atlantic Ocean, for the months of February, May, August, and November. 



Resolution 8. 



It is highly desirable that hydrographical observations be obtained on a section 

 extending 600 miles S 30° true E of St. Johns, Newfoundland, returning in a direct 

 line to the Flemish Cap and thence to St. Johns. Occasionally also at other positions 

 on the "Great Bank" and on adjoining fishing grounds. 



Resolution 9. 



The hydrographical Section recommends that quarterly cruises on the lines of 

 the international cruises be carried out in the months of February, May, August, and 

 November on a section from Gape Lookout to the Bermudas and thence to Florida; 

 also monthly or more frequent observations on sections between Southern Florida and 

 Nassau, and between Southern Florida and Havana. In addition, the usual hydro- 

 graphical sections are recommended in that part of the Atlantic Ocean lying North 

 of Gape Hatteras. ,
