Favne. Ved fortsat Afkjøling ovenfra bringes dette Maxi- 
mum efterhaanden nedover, indtil det naar Bunden, og Tem- 
peraturen i Januar aftager stadig ovenfra nedad. 
At Temperaturens aarlige Vandring foregaar paa denne 
Maade paa andre Steder end ved Lødingen og i Alten-Fjor- 
den, fremgaar af talrige lagttagelser.  Kjendemerkerne ere 
de ovenfor fremhævede: Et Minimum mellem Overfladen og 
100 Favnes Dyb om Vaaren og Sommeren, et Maximum 
samme Steds om Høsten, stadig voxende Temperatur med 
Dybden om Vinteren. En stadig aftagende Temperatur 
med Dybden ved Høstjevndøgnstider kan ikke opstilles som 
Kjendemerke, da en saadan Fordeling af Temperaturen paa 
mange Steder, nemlig i det aabne Hav, er den almindelige 
i de fleste Maaneder af Aaret. 
Et Minimum af Temperatur i Dybden mellem Over- 
fladen og 100 Favne er observeret paa følgende Stationer

deeper strata still continues to dimmish. Å maximum of 
temperature is attained at a certain depth, between the 
surface and 100 fathoms. Continuous cooling from above 
eradually. brings down this maximum till it reaches the 
bottom, and till the temperature in January steadily decreases 
from above downwards. 
That the annual variation of the temperature proceeds 
in the manner described above in other places than Lø- 
dingen and the Altenfjord, is evident from numerous observa- 
tions. The chief characteristics are those already set forth, 
viz: — A minimum in spring and summer between the 
surface and a depth of 100 fathoms; a maximum in the 
same place during autumn; temperature steadily increasing 
with depth throughout the winter. A temperature steadily 
diminishing with depth at the autumnal equinox cannot be 
taken as a trustworthy characteristic, 
distribution of the temperature, 
since the latter 
in many localities, viz., 
the open sea,‘ for example, prevails during the greater 
part of the year. ; 
A minimum of temperature in depths between the 
surface and 100 fathoms, was observed at the following

Hence it appears, that all the localities in which the 
said temperature-minimum has been met with, lie either off 
the coasts of Iceland, the Færoes, Norway, Beeren-Hiland, 
Spitzbergen, and Jan Mayen, or in the Greenland Sea, 
viz., throughout the tract covered with ice during winter and 
free from ice in summer. In the open sea, the temperature 
in summer is almost everywhere found to diminish with 
the depth.
