paa 31 Stationer med 1 Mils Afstand indbyrdes, samt
en Bundskrabning. Kystbankens Afheld mod
Ishavs-dybet fandtes først i en Afstand af 25 Mil fra Land og
først her fandtes, i 381 Favne,, iskoldt Vand ved Bunden.
Kursen sattes derefter sydover og Opgangen fra Dybet af
den samme Banke blev bestemt paa Bredde, hvor dér
blev taget G Lodskud. 2 Temperaturrækker og 2
Bund-skrabninger. Dette Arbejde blev udfort til om Aftenen dem
22de August, og da ophørte ogsaa det gåde Vejr. som
vi-siden Ankomsten til Namsos havde havt.
I Taage og Kuling gjordes Land næste Morgen, den’
23de August, ved Ona Fyr. hvor Lods kom ombord, og om
Eftermiddagen ankredes, ved Molde. Den 24de blev der
loddet, taget Temperaturrække og skrabet i
Romsdalsfjorden, og samme Dags Alten ankom Expeditionen til
Aale-sund. Her kom der Kl. 8 om Aftenen en Stormbyge, der
rev Skibet løs fra sine Fortøjninger, og først Kl. 2 om
Morgenen blev det atter bragt paa sikker Ankerplads igjen.
Den næste Formiddag, afgik vi fra Aalesund. laa om Natten
i Floro og ankom Lørdag Middag den 26de August til
Bergen.
Samtlige Expeditionens Medlemmer debarkerede samme
Dag, og Mandag Morgen begyndte Desarmeringen, idet alle
Expeditionens Sager bragtes’ i Land paa Marinens »Værft,
hvor det fornødne Magazinrum velvilligen var stillet til
Expeditionens Raadighed. Samtidig udtoges. Indredningen,
og Skibet klargjordes til Fragtfart ved D’Hrr. Brunchorst
& 1 >ekkes Værft, hvorfra det den 7de September
afleveredes ti-1 Rederiet.
1877.
Den for dette Aar vedtagne Plan var saalydende:
Fartøjets Udrustning og Bestemmelsen af -dets
magnetiske Konstanter antages færdige til den 1ste Juni.
Ved Studiet af Varmeforholdene i Dybet over
Bankerne udenfor Vestkysten har det vist sig, at der endnu
savnes nogle Temperaturrækker i den norske Rende. For
at faa disse, begyndes Vejen til det egentlige
Undersøgelsesfelt saaledes, at man fra Bergen gaar direkte tilsøs og,
følgende Rendens Bund. tager nogle Temperaturrækker i
denne. Længere Nord kunne nogle af forrige Aars
Tem-peraturrøkker verificeres.
Det første egentlige Arbejdsfelt er de norske
Kyst-banker nordenfor Namdalen.
Efter de Observationer, som foreligge, er det
sandsynligt. at Havbroen, hvor Banken kaster sig ned mod
Is-havsdybet. og hvor det iskolde Vand begynder ved Bunden.
we’took a series of soundings at 31 Stations. 4 miles apart,
and one haul of the dredge. The -slope of the coastal bank
towards thj3 basin of the Arctic Ocean was found to
commence 100 miles from land, and here, in 381 fathoms, we
first met with bottom-water "of 0°. Proceeding then on a
southward course, the rise of the bank was determined in
.lat. 64° N.. and here we took 6 soundings, 2 serial
temperatures, and 2 hauls of the dredge. This deep-sea work
was steadily prosecuted till the evening of the 22nd of
August, when a gale of wind put an end to the spell of fair
weather we had enjoyed after reaching Namsos.
Steaming southward in a fog and a heavy sea, we
made land the next morning, the 23rd of August, near the
Ona lighthouse; soon after a pilot came on board, and in
the afternoon the -’Vøringen" cast anchor at Molde. The
next day we sounded, took a, series of temperatures, and
dredged in the Romsdalsljord. the Expedition proceeding
that day as far as Aalesund. At 8 p.m. the ship, struck
by a violent squall, broke from her moorings, and it was
2 o’clock in the morning before she got safe anchorage.
On the forenoon of the following day we left Aalesund,
anchored for the night at Florø, and arrived at Bergen on
Saturday the 26tli of August, about noon.
The members of the Scientific Staff disembarked the
same day. In the course of the next week the
instruments, apparatus, and other things belonging to the
Expedition were conveyed- to the Royal Navy Yard
(storage-room had been kindly placed at my disposal), and the
crew paid off. The fittings below deck were then
removed, and the vessel cleared for the freight-trade, in
Messrs Brunchorst & Dekke’s dockyard, where, on the 7th
of September, she was given up to the owners.
1877.
The Scheme approved foi* this year was as follows:’ —
The equipment of the vessel and the determination
ol’ her magnetic constants are assumed to have been
completed by the 1st of June.
Extended research into the thermal conditions of
.the deeper strata, on the banks off the West Coast of
Norway, has shown a few serial temperatures to be wanting
for the Norwegian Channel. The Expedition will,
therefore. on leaving Bergen, at once put to sea. and. following
the axis of the channel, commence-its exploratory work
by-taking serial temperatures. Farther north, a few of last
year’s serial temperatures might be verified.
The Norwegian coastal banks north of Namdalen will
form on this cruise the .first extensive field of exploratory
research.
Judging from the observations already taken, it is highly
probable that the edge of the bank where the sea-bottom
begins to slope down towards the depths of the Arctic
