Figure 26. The trajectories of cyclones as a function of the difference 

 in mean annual temperatures in the cross sections along 

 the Kola Meridian. 



The dashed line gives the curve of the underlying surface, and is constructed in the following 

 manner. For example, for the 1930 curve, we take the difference in the mean annual temperature 

 along the Kola Meridian for 1927 (northern region) and for 1929 (southern region); for the 1931 

 curve, we take the difference in the indicated temperatures for 1928 and 1930, etc. The positive 

 sign of this difference shows that the positive anomaly for a given year is greater in the northern 

 region than in the southern, and vice versa, (figures 24 and 25). 



Examining figure 26, we see that the curves intersect quite well, and, although Somov con- 

 siders the 11-year series of observations insufficient for a final representation of the proposed 

 hypothesis, I have no idea about not accepting its correctness.* 



*I made plans for expeditions in 1932 aboard the Knipovich (salliilg around Franz Joseph 

 Land at this time) and in 1935 on the icebreaker Sadko (setting a record, as yet unsurpassed, of 

 open sea navigation to 82°42' north in this year) based on actual calculation of the time of the 

 appearance of the crests of several waves noted in the cross section along the Kola Meridian.
