Hydrographical Observations from the Danmark Expedition.

In the uppermost 100 m. the salinity and temperature луеге 

 nearly the same as in Øresund and Lille Belt. The temperature min- 

 imum lay at a depth of ca. 10 m., and the increasing temperature 

 below this depth was due, therefore, not to conduction from above 

 but from the deeper layers. 



The surface salinity was somewhat greater than at the station 

 in Store Belt and Dovebugt, probably due to the fact, that the ice in 

 Stormbugt and the other sounds broke up in the summer of 1907, 

 with the result that more chlorides were separated out when the ice 

 came the follo\%-ing winter than in Store Belt and DoA^ebugt, where 

 the ice did not break up in the summer of 1907, partly also because

Station LVI. Dove-Bugt. 



the latter waters lie nearer to the large river at the head of Dovebugt, 

 from which there flowed fresh water throughout the whole winter. 

 Below a depth of 100 m. the temperature and salinity were nearly 

 constant, a consequence of the fact, that Stormbugt forms an iso- 

 lated basin, surrounded by banks with a saddle depth of ca. 100 m. 



Series LVI. Dovebugt. 28 May 1908. 



The station lay in the innermost part of Dovebugt between Orien- 

 tering Islands and Germania Land. The water here is a continuation 

 of Store Belt. 



Down to a depth of 150 m., consequently, the temperature and 

 salinity were nearly quite the same as those found at the station in 

 Store Belt. 



Below 150 m. the salinity and temperature were nearly constant. 

 Thus Dovebugt must be an isolated basin, surrounded by banks with 

 a saddle-depth of ca. 150 m.
