Fig.  8.  The  Stations  in  the  Skagerack.  (The  bottom-curves  in  meters.) 
(4).  The  Skagerack  and  The  Worwegian  Channel. 
Our  stations  in  the  Skagerack  are  shown  on  the  chart  in  fig.  8. 
The  arrows  give  the  average  strength  of  current  recorded  at  5 m. 
and  50  m.  below  the  surface,  as  well  as  the  direction. 
Out  off  Riscir  on  the  Edge,  where  the  depth  was  180  me- 
ters, there  was  a stream  in  the  upper  100  meters,  which  followed 
the  Norse  coast  southwards  with  a practically  constant  direction, 
and  occasionally  attained  high  velocities.  The  highest  velocity  re- 
corded was  more  than  100  cm.  per  second  and  was  observed  1 m. 
below  the  surface,  while  the  average  velocity  in  the  upper  20  me- 
ters was  about  70  cm.  per  second.  Even  at  50  meters  the  average 
velocity  was  about  27  cm.  per  second,  and  at  100  meters  it  was
