Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on Norwegian Marine Investigations, 1895-97
From Pl. 2, it will be seen that the greatest portion of the surface of the Northern Ocean is occupied in summer by water containing over 35 of salt.
In like manner the bottom from Eggen in to the coast is covered with water, the salinity of which is 35 of a temperature ranging from 6° to 70 Celsius. Only below Eggen will a lower temperature be found, down to -10 at a depth of 900 metres, where the, salinity is also less, as the water is mixed with that from the polar ice. In on the coast the salinity, too, decreases, as will be seen from the plate, and therefore one can lay down 3 deep regions according to the physical conditions.
