I Januar er den laveste Temperatur i Overfladen, og 
Temperaturen stiger med Dybden, indtil den naar sit Maxi- 
mum ved Bunden. 
I de 4 følgende Maaneder har Qverfladen et Maxi- 
mum. Herfra aftager Temperaturen jnedover til et Mi- 
nimum, hvis Plads synker dybere og dybere, fra 20 
Favne i Maj til 40 Favne i Juli og August. Fra dette 
Minimum af stiger Temperaturen nedover mod Bunden. I 
September er Maximum i Overfladen, og Temperaturen syn- 
ker stadig nedover til Bunden, ganske modsat Forholdet i 
Januar. I de 3 følgende Maaneder har Overfladen (eller 
10 Favnes Dyb i December) et Minimum; herfra voxer 
Temperaturen nedover til et Maximum, hvis Piads gaar 
nedover fra 20 Fayne i October til 50 Favne 1 December. 
Fra dette Maximum af synker Temperaturen stadig til 
Bunden. 
I Gjennemsnit for hele Aaret (Tallene for Januar 
regnede 3 Gange, og Summen divideret med 12) findes et 
Maximum i Overfladen, et Minimum 1 80 Favnes Dyb og et 
Maximum ved Bunden, der er højere end Overfladens. 
I samme Dyb er Temperaturen saaledes fordelt efter 
Aarstiden :

During January, the temperature is lowest at the sur- 
face, Increasing with the depth, till it reaches its maximum 
at the bottom. 
During the 4 following months, the surface exhibits 
a maximum. Thence the temperature falls to a minimum, the 
position of which sinks deeper and deeper, from 20 fathoms 
in May to 40 fathoms in July and August. From this 
minimum, the temperature rises towards the bottom. In 
September, the maximum is at the surface, and the 
temperature descends steadily to the bottom, a relation 
quite the reverse of that in January. In the following 
3 months, the surface (or a depth of 10 fathoms in De- 
cember) has a minimum, from which the temperature in- 
creases downwards to a maximum, its position ranging 
from 20 fathoms in October to 50 fathoms in December. 
From this maximum, the temperature sinks steadily to the 
bottom. On an average, for the whole year round (counting 
the figures for January 3 times, and dividing the sum by 
12), a maximum is found at the surface, a minimum at a 
depth of 30 fathoms, and a maximum — higher than the 
surface-maximum — at the bottom. | 
At one and the same depth the temperature is dis- 
tributed as follows, according to the time of year: —

I Dybet ere saaledes Vaarmaanederne koldest, og Hø-

Thus, in the deep, the spring months are coldest, 
the autumn warmest. The annual range of temperature 
diminishes steadily, from 99.7 at the surface to 092 at a 
depth of 100 fathoms.

face, the highest at the bottom at åa depth of 100 fathoms. 
In February and March, the distribution is essentially the
