T versn it II gaar fra Knight Errant Station No. 32
imod Nordost over Wyville Thonison-Ryggen langs Axen
af Fau-o-Shetland-Ryggen til Porcupine Station No. 64,
altsaa kun lidt i Nordvest for Tversnit I, men mere
ret-liniet end dette. Det viser en Temperaturfordeling, der er
saagodtsom den samme som i Tversnit I. Kun synes 0°
at ra’kke lidt dybere paa Nordostsiden af Wyville
Thomson-Ryggen.
Tversnit III udgaar fra samme Pindet som Tversnit 1,
men er lagt over den nordvestre Del of Wyville
Thoinson-Rvggeii, hvor denne har en liden Indsienkniug, imod Nordost
over Fau’ø-Shetland-Rendens nordvestre Dybdeparti til
Porcupines Station No. I>4 midt i Renden. I det væsentlige
er Temperaturens Fordeling her den samme som i di’ to
förste Tversnit. Paa Kammen af Ryggen er 8" Varme.
Idet denne her ligger paa et noget større Dyb, 320 Favne,
og 0" ligger allerede i 360 Favnes Dyb, trænge
Isother-mobatherne sig paa Xordostsiden af Ryggen meget sterkt
sammen.
Tversnit IV gaar fra samme Udgangspunkt som di*
forrige mod XXE over den nordvestlige Ende af Wyville
Thomson-Ryggen, Færø-Baukerne og Færoerne til vor
Station No. 52 mellem Island og Norge. Paa
Atlanter-havssiden af Ryggen er Varmegrader til Bunds, paa
Nord-havssiden Kuldegrader i Dybet under 300 Favne. Over
Ryggen selv løfte Isothermobatherne sig opad. Over
Færø-Baukerne er Varmegrader, omkring 9°. Paa
Nordostsiden af Færøerne er hele Dybet fra mindst 400 Favne
optaget af Kuldegrader. Temperaturen — 1° ligger i et
betydeligt Dyb, 1000 til 1200 Favne. Mellem Stationerne
No. 40 og 52 løfter Isothermen for 0° sig op til 2«80
Favnes Dybde. Mellem 100 og 200 Favne ligge
Isother-merne for 2° til 8° meget tæt udenfor Færø-Bauken.
Tversnit V gaar over den nordvestlige Del af
Færø-Island-Ryggen fra Station No. 44 mod Nordost til Station
No. 51. I Snittet løfter denne Ryg sig op til 180 Favne.
Paa dens atlantiske Side og over dens Kam findes
Varmegrader fra Overfladen til Bunden, og Isothermerne for 4°
til 7" følge dens Skraaning. I de øvre Lag er koldere
Vand spredt udover varmere Vand i Dybet. Paa
Nordostsiden af Ryggen findes 0° allerede i 100 Favnes Dyb
og Isothermerne over 1° ligge meget tæt henimod
Overfladen. Mellem Stationerne No. 47 og 48, paa Skraaningen
strax i Nordost for Kammen, staa Isothermerne
forholdsvis stejle, og meget tæt, og betegne en sterk Afkjøling i
Retning fra Nordost mod Sydvest.
Tversnit VI gaar i Retningen fra Nordvest mod
Sydost, fra Færøerne til Shetland, tvers over Færø-Shetland-
distance traversed towards the north-east, the higher are
the levels on which lie the respective temperatures.
Section II extends from the "Knight Errant"
Station No. 32 towards the north-east, across the
Wyville-Thomson Ridge, along the axis of the Færoe-Shetland Ridge
to the ’Porcupine" Station No. 04 hence only a little
to the north-west of Section I, but more in a straight line
than the latter. It exhibits a distribution of temperature
well-nigh the same as in Section I, saving that 0° would
seem to reach somewhat deeper clown on the north-east
side of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge.
Section III commences at the same point as Section
I, but is laid across the north-western part of the
Wyville-Thomson Ridge, where the latter has a slight depression,
towards the north-east, across the deep, north-western part
ol’ the Færoe-Shetland Channel, to the "Porcupine"’ Station
No. 04, in the middle of the channel. As to all essential
particulars, the distribution of temperature here is the
same as in the two first sections. On the crest ol’ the
ridge, the temperature is 8U above zero. The ridge lying
here at a somewhat greater depth. 320 fathoms, and 0°
occurring at a depth of only 360 fathoms, the isothcrmobaths
on the north-east side of the ridge crowd very closely together.
Section IV extends from the same point as the
preceding, towards the XNE, across the north-western
end of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge, the Færoe Banks and
the Færoe Islands to Station No. 52, between Iceland
and Norway. On the Atlantic side ol’ the ridge, the
temperature is above zero from the surface to the bottom, on
the North Ocean side, below zero from a depth of 300 fathoms
to the bottom. Over the ridge itself, the isothermobaths
rise upwards. Above the Fan oe Banks, the temperature is
upwards of 0", about 9°. On the north-eastern side of the Færoe
Islands, the whole of the deep, at least from 400 fathoms
downwards, has a temperature below zero. The
temperature — 1° does not occur till at a very considerable depth,
1000 to 1200 fathoms. Between the Stations No. 40 and No.
52, the isotherm for 0" rises to a depth of 280 fathoms.
Between 100 and 200 fathoms, the isotherms for 2° to 8°
lie very close ott’ the Færoe Bank.
Section V extends across the north-western part of the
Færoe-Iceland Ridge, from Station No. 44, towards the
north-east, to Station No. 51. In the section, this ridge
rises to 180 fathoms. On the Atlantic side, and above its
crest, the temperature is upwards of 0° from the surface to
the bottom; and the isotherms for 4" to 7° follow its slope.
In the upper strata, comparatively cold water extends over
water of a higher temperature throughout the deeper parts.
On the north-east side of the ridge, 0° occurs at a depth
of only 100 fathoms, and the isotherms above 1" lie very
close as they approach the surface. Between the Stations
No. 47 and No. 48, on the slope immediately north-east
of the crest, the isotherms have a relatively upright
position, lie very close, and indicate a considerable decrease
of temperature from the north-east to the south-west.
Section VI extends from the north-west towards the
south-east, from the Færoes to the Shetlands, straight
