Figure 27. Departure of the temperature of the cross sec- 

 tion along the Kola Meridian on 15 January from 

 the mean multiannual (•— ) ; departure of the 

 winter air temperature (December to February) 

 at the "Uellen" polar station from the mean 

 multiannual (— ); iciness of the Chuckchee Sea 

 in degrees of concentration ( — ) . 



Figure 28 (also according to Ovchinnikov) shows atmospheric pressure in December for a 

 number of years at Cape Barrow and at the center of the Iceland minimum.

Figure 28 • Mean atmospheric pressure in 

 December at Cape Barrow (— ) 

 and mean atmospheric pressure 

 in December at the center of 

 the Iceland minimum ( — ). 



Examining these figures we see a definite parallelism in the phenomena in quite widely scat- 

 tered regions of the ocean, while these phenomena are somehow or other connected with the corre- 

 sponding changes in the temperature of the ocean's surface layer (causing them, or vice versa, 

 being caused by them) . 



Thus, a change in the temperature of the water's surface layers, causing changes in the pres- 

 sure topography in one region of the ocean (in a definite period of time and in a definite direction for 

 each region), affects the temperature of different regions of the ocean, sometimes located very far 

 away from the given region.
