NO. 4 TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS IX THE NORTH ATLANTIC I99 



Dutch fields (see fig. ^2, V and VI, fig. 73, IX and XIV^). We also 

 show the results in the fields of the International Central Bureau 

 (see fig. ^2, I and IX) and also similar curves for the whole of 

 X^orway and for meteorological stations in the western United States 

 on the Pacific Ocean. As the reader will see, there is an undeniable 

 coincident agreement between many of these curves taken from 

 such different regions of the earth. But at the same time it is also 



Figure "JZ- Similar curves to figure 72 for the air temperature (mostly 

 according to Arctowski) and the surface temperature (IX, XIV). 



apparent that the curves belong to more or less marked types. For 

 example observe the well-marked type which governs the surface 

 temperatures of the ocean in the fields of 20° north latitude and 

 20° to 22° west longitude shown in figure 72, I. Also the type for 

 the air temperature at Batavia, Arequipa, Bulawayo and other 

 places shown in curves II to I\". This is the same type which is 

 found in all of our tropical stations in figure 71, as Batavia, Well- 

 ington, Mauritius, etc.
