Tversnit XVI gaar mellem den 71. og 70. Breddegrad 
udenfor Tromsø. Paa Banken er i 180 Favnes Dyb en 
Temperatur af 6°, medens der under Land kun er 5° Nul 
Graders Isothermen ligger 1 570 Favnes Dyb. Isothermen 
for — 19 stiger op mod Bankens Yderskraaning til 700 Favne. 
Tvyersnit XVII (Pl. XII øverst og 1 anden Rad til 
Venstre) gaar fra Grønland (73° N. Br.) over Tverryggen 
til Loppen (Finmarkens Sydgrændse, 70° 20’ N. Br.). Den 
højeste Temperatur, over 5°, findes 1 de øverste Lag i 
Snittets østligste Del, udenfor og over de norske Kystban- 
ker. Udenfor disse sænke Varmegradsisothermerne sig 
dybest ned. TIsothermen for 0° rækker ned til 580 Favne. 
Mellem Stationerne 296 og 297 løfter den og de øvrige 
Isothermer sig raskt op mod Overfladen. Vestenfor Sta- 
tion 297 skyder sig i 40 til 50 Faynes Dyb en Kile med 
et Temperaturminimum paa — 1°.3 ind mellem de over- 
og underliggende varmere Vandlag. Først 1 meget større 
Dyb kommer atter Isothermen for — 19 tilsyne, i det hele 
taget med lignende Bøjninger som den for 0°. I den vest- 
lige Del af Snittet, i Gronlandshavet, optræder — 1°.5 og 
— 196. | 
Tversnit XVIII følger omtrent den 74. Breddegrad 
søndenfor Beeren-Eiland. Det viser Overgangen fra Nord- 
havs-Dybet til Østhavet. Vestenfor Beeren-Eiland sænke 
Isothermerne sig mod Vest. Allerede i 400 Favnes Dyb 
have vi 09 paa Skraaningen. Østenfor Beeren-Hilands- 
Banken er Temperaturen paa en lang Strækning højere 1 
100 Favne end i Overfladen, idet Isothermen for 2° inde- 
slutter et Maximum 1 Dybet. Ellers aftager Temperaturen 
mod Øst og mod Dybet. Nul Grad viser sig ved Station 275. 
Tversnit XIX gaar fra Grønland (74°.5) mod Øst og 
langs den 75. Breddegrad til Beeren-Eilands-Banken. I 
Dybet træfte vi den merkelige ovenfor, Side 5 f, omtalte For- 
højning paa Havbunden. Den højeste Temperatur, over 
4°. ligger 1 Vest for Beeren-Eilands-Banken, over dennes 
ydre Skraaning. I Overfladen er det her mindre varmt 
end i 100 Favnes Dyb. Under dette Temperaturmaximum 
buge alle Dybets Isothermer sig nedad. De stige op langs 
Banken og mod Grønlandshavet, 1 hvilket den laveste ob- 
serverede Havtemperatur i Dybet, — 19.7, optræder. Nul- 
gradsisothermen stiger paa Banken til 400 Favne; udenfor 
gaar den ned til 560 Favne. 
Tversnit XX gaar fra Station 332 til 326, fra WNW 
til ESE mellem Spidsbergen og Beeren-Eiland, fra Nord- 
havsdybet til Østhavet. Udenfor Bankens Eg er Tempera- 
turens Maximum ikke i Overfladen, men nærmere ved 100 
Favnes Dyb. Nul Grad trætfes i 480 Favnes Dyb. Det 
— 1°17 (Station 213). The isotherm for — 1.8 occurs 
round Jan Mayen, as also along the slope on the western 
side of the deep, and at the bottom on its eastern side; 
but in both localities throughout confined tracts only. It 
does not reach up above the Vesteraalseg. 
Section XVI extends from between the 71st and 
70th parallels of latitude, off Tromsø. On the bank, at 
a depth of 130 fathoms, there is a temperature of 6°, 
while, close to land, 5° only occurs. The isotherm for 0° 
lies at a depth of 570 fathoms. That for — 19 rises towards 
the outer slope of the bank up to 709 fathoms. 
Section X VII (Pl. XII; first and second row to the left) 
extends from Greenland (lat. 73° N) across the Transverse 
Ridge to Loppen (southern extremity of Finmark, lat. 70° 
20’ N). The highest temperature, over 5°, occurs in the 
upper layers of the eastern part of the section, off and above the

reaches down to 580 fathoms. Between Stations 296 and 297, 
this and the other isotherms rise up rapidly towards the 
surface. West of Station 297, at a depth of 40 to 50 
fathoms, a wedge-like mass of water, with a minimum-tem- 
perature of — 1°.3 lies between the upper and lower strata 
of warmer water. Not till it reaches a very considerable 
depth can the isotherm for — 19 again be observed, on the 
whole with curvatures similar to that for 09% Through- 
out the western part of the section, in the Greenland Sea, 
occur — 1°.5 and — 19.6. 
Section XVIII extends along the 74th parallel of 
latitude, south of Beeren Eiland. It shows the transition 
from the North-Ocean Deep to'the Barents Sea. West of 
Beeren Hiland, the isotherms sink towards the west. At 
a depth of not more than 400 fathoms, we have 0° on 
the slope. East of the Beeren-Eiland Bank, the tempera- 
ture is higher for a very considerable distance at a depth 
of 100 fathoms than at the surface, since the isotherm 
for 2° encloses a maximum in the deep. Besides, the 
temperature diminishes towards the east and towards the 
A temperature of 0° is met with at Station 275. 
Section XIX extends from Greenland (74°.5) towards 
the east, passing along the 7dth parallel of latitude 
to the} Beeren-Biland Bank. In the deep we find the 
singular eminence mentioned above, p. 5f, rising from the 
sea-bed. The highest temperature, more than 4°, occurs west 
of the Beeren-Hiland Bank, over its outer declivity. At 
the surface, the water is not so warm as at a depth of 
100 fathoms. Below this maximum of temperature, all 
deep-lying isotherms curve downwards. They rise along 
the bank and towards the Greenland Sea, in which the 
lowest sea-temperature observed in the deep, — 1°.7, is 
found to occur. On the bank the isotherm for 0° rises to 
400 fathoms, off it reaching not higher than up to 560 fathoms. 
Section XX extends from Station 332 to Station 326, 
or from WNW to ESE, between Spitzbergen and Beeren 
Eiland, from the North-Ocean Deep to the Barents Sea. 
Off the edge of the bank the maximum-temperature does not 
occur at the surface, but nearer a depth of 100 fathoms.
