Dybder. Isothermen for — 1°.3 findes i Jan Mayen-Ren- 
den og Gronlandshavet, samt paa den norske (østre) Side 
af Norskedybet og i den dybe nordenfra indskjærende Bugt 
udenfor de norske Kystbanker ved Sydenden af Vesteraals- 
eggen. Paa den vestre Skraaning ‘af Norskedybet er Tem- 
peraturen ikke under — 198. I Grønlandshavet findes 
rimeligvis, efter de danske Observationer i Nord for Island 
at dømme (Snit XXXII, Pl. XIV), — 196. 
Tversnit XIV gaar mellem den 68. og 67. Breddegrad 
over Røst, den yderste af Lofotens Øer, og Mundingen af 
Vestfjorden. Det viser den sydlige Del af Vesteraalseggen 
i Profil. Her findes 0° i 400 Favnes Dyb og — 19 i 450. 
Mellem 09 og 5° ligge Isothermerne meget tæt. Isother- 
men for 6° udviser en poseformet Nedsænkning udenfor 
Eggen af Banken. Paa Landsiden omslutter saavel uden- 
for som indenfor Røst, det er, 1 Vestfjorden, Isethermen 
for 5° et Temperaturminimum, der ude paa Banken vesten- 
for Røst ligger ved Bunden med c. 4°.5 Varme, men i 
selve Vestfjorden har varmere Vand saavel over som 
under sig. Vestfjordens Bundtemperatur (Station No. 
255) og Overfladens aarlige Middeltemperatur er omkring 
6", (Pl. XVI) medens der i 60 Favnes Dyb er et Minimum 
paa omkring 4°.5 (Stat. No. 148, 254 og 255). 
Tversnit XV gaar fra Grønland (719 20’) over Gron- 
landshavet, Jan Mayen, Lofotdybet og Vesteraalseggen til 
Vesteraalen (69°). Den højeste Temperatur er mellem 6° 
og 7°. Alle Varmegradsisothermer sænke sig mod Dybet 
udenfor Vesteraalseggen og midtvejs mellem Norge og Jan 
Mayen. De heve sig mod Eggen og i endnu højere Grad 
mod Vest, navnlig de for 0°, 1°, 2° og 3°.  Varmegrads- 
isothermerne ligge mindre tæt end søndenfor. Temperaturen 
i Overfladen er forholdsvis lavere og Nulgradsisothermen 
ligger dybere, idet den paa sine dybeste Punkter naar ned 
til 660 Favne, hvilket er mindst 200 Favne dybere end i 
Tversnit XIII. Østenfor Jan Mayen gaar Isothermen for 
09 raskt tilvejrs og naar Overfladen; fra denne til Bunden 
er iskoldt Vand. Isothermen for — 1°, der i Station 183 
naar sit største Dyb, 1100 Favne, stiger til begge Sider. 
Østenfor Jan Mayen danner den 1 de øvre Lag, 20 til 
120 Favne, en afsluttet Curve, der indeslutter et Minimum 
af Temperatur paa indtil — 19.7 (Stat. 217 og følgende); i de 
dybere Lag omslutter den et dybere liggende Minimum paa 
mindst — 193. Lige under Østkysten af Jan Mayen er 
Temperaturen forholdsvis højere (Stat. 226, 229). Vesten- 
for Jan Mayen er lutter Kuldegrader, og i større Dyb ned 
til — 19,5. Isothermen for — 1°.2 naar fikke Dybet mellem 
Jan Mayen og Norge. Her er ved Bunden et Temperatur- 
maximum paa — 1917 (Stat. 213). Isothermen for — 19.8 
findes omkring Jan Mayen, samt paa Skraaningen paa 
Dybets vestre Side og paa Bunden paa dets østre Side, 
the eastern side to 400 fathoms along the steep declivity 
off the Norway coastal banks, on the western to the sur- 
face, off Greenland. The isotherms for — 1°.1 and — 19,2 
take a similar course in greater depths. The isotherm 
for —1°.3 is met with in the Jan-Mayen Channel and the 
Greenland Sea, as also on the Norwegian (eastern) side 
of the Norway Deep, and in the deep bay extending from 
the north off the Norwegian coastal banks at the southern 
extremity of the Vesteraalseg. On the western declivity 
of the Norway Deep, the temperature is not under 
—1°.3. In the Greenland Sea, judging from the Danish 
observations taken north of Iceland (Section XXXII, PI. 
XIV), — 1°.6 most probably occurs. 
Section XIV extends from between the 68th and 
67th parallels of latitude across Rost, the outermost of 
the Lofoten Islands, and the mouth of the Vestfjord. It

temperature in the Vestfjord (Station No. 255) and the 
annual mean temperature at the surface is about 6° (PI. 
XVI), whereas in 60 fathoms there is a minimum of about 
4°.5 (Stations No. 148, 254, and 255).
