OCEANOGRAPHY 



The 1933 ice season was, as has been mentioned before, an unusual 

 one, with the great majority of the bergs hugging the eastern coast of 

 the Avalon Peninsula and thus leaving the eastern edge of the Grand 

 Banks almost entirely free of ice. As it is only by way of the eastern 

 slope of the Banks that icebergs can drift very far south the large cut- 

 ters were not called out for their usual continuous patrol, and the ocean- 

 ographic vessel, the General Greene, took care of the routine patrol work 

 until near the end of the season when the Chamxtlain made a final 

 survey of conditions in the critical area before the operations of the 

 ice-patrol vessels in this area were ordered discontinued for the season. 

 As long as the General Greene remained the only patrol vessel in the 

 ice area ver}' little oceanographic work could be done because of the 

 necessity of scouting for ice and because of her limited water supply. 



This situation is much to be regretted because it was not possible 

 to collect the quantitative hydrodynamic data which might have been
