    Description: Volcanic ash layers, which represent the products of volcanic activity within the ocean basins, are common in sedimentary cores taken near Cobb Seamount and on the actively spreading Gorda and Juan de Fuca Ridges. Petrographic and chemical analyses of the glass shards from these deposits have revealed that they are unaltered and are as chemically representative of local volcanic events as are the glassy margins of fresh pillow basalts recovered from the same areas. The presence of unhydrated glass shards in samples as old as 3.8 my is in direct conflict with published hydration rates of both terrestrial and submarine volcanic glasses. A study of a sequence of ash layers from Cobb Seamount, which spans in time much of the Seamount's history, indicates that the volcanic products from Cobb Seamount have had alkaline affinities and that its eruptions have been becoming progressively enriched in Al2O3. Recent experimental petrological evidence and the data on the chemical compositions of Cobb Seamount and the adjacent Juan de Fuca Ridge magmas are in agreement with the hypothesis that magmas are being generated at progressively greater depths beneath Cobb Seamount as it migrates away from the Juan de Fuca Ridge.

    Description: Reviews the major deep-sea expeditions from that of HMS Challenger in 1873 to 1960. Emphasis is on the increasing sophistication of vessels and equipment used, the growth of international cooperation and the proliferation of branches of oceanographic studies. Arctic work by Nansen, Sverdrup, recent Soviet scientists, the Scripps Institution and the Norpac program are mentioned (maps). Vessels used during the period and their activities are tabulated. Two maps show cruises of the Atlantic Polar Front Program Jan-Dec 1958 in the Greenland and Barents Seas

    Description: A study is described which attempts to obtain information about the vertical correlation of ocean currents at frequencies higher than inertial. Current velocity and temperature data for sensor separations of 4–12 m were taken with a mooring at ‘Site D’. The coherence and phase spectra for velocity component pairs reveals that motions are rotational at low frequencies. A cut-off frequency exists above which coherence drops to low values. The limiting frequency coincides with the minimum Väisälä frequency of the total water column. These cross-spectral properties support the assumption that the motion in this frequency range is governed by internal wave dynamics. The coherence and phase spectra of temperature pairs indicate that a field of temperature structure is superimposed on the mean field which is weakly correlated to the field of motion.

    Description: After some brief comments on the measurement of temperature and electrical conductivity in oceanography, the measuring probes suitable for in situ measurements are reviewed. Then the method of measurement is described using an improved model of the so-called bathysonde. This makes possible a continuous recording of temperature, conductivity, and pressure with high accuracy in great depths. Measurements from the Skagerrak and from the Mediterranean are considered. Finally, problems are discussed which arise when evaluating electrical conductivity and temperature from in situ measurements.

    Description: Observations of temperature and electrical conductivity by a recording in situ salinometer are discussed in respect oo the physical processes connected with the renewal of North Atlantic deep water. The measured fine structure of the layering suggests that the downward movement of cooled surface water is combined with horizontal mixing down to more than 1000 m depth. This is confirmed by the existence of water elements which have slightly different temperature and salinity. Curves of temperature, conductivity, and salinity and T-S diagrams are shown.

    Description: An experiment is described which was aimed at testing assumptions and predictions of the internal wave model suggested by Garrett and Munk (1972). Two moorings were set at a depth of 2660 m with a horizontal separation of 920 m only. The results of current and temperature measurements on these moorings indicate that the field of motion is probably horizontally isotropic in the inertio-gravitational wave band. The limiting frequency for horizontal coherence is three times the frequency predicted by the theoretical model. The phase of the vertical coherence is stable over a wide frequency range and the coherence decreases towards higher frequencies. This may be due to coherent motion contaminated by uncorrelated noise at high frequencies. The results are basically in agreement with the theoretical model when taking a number of modes below 10.

    Description: Typical results of continuous temperature-salinity measurements from stations west of Gibraltar are presented. Special features of the structure of the Mediterranean Water in this area in relation to the corresponding turbulent mixing and salt-fingering process are discussed: the two maxima in the vertical profiles, the variation in time of small-scale phenomena, and the step-like structure at the lower boundary of the Mediterranean Water.

    Description: The Agulhas Bank, which forms the continental margin on the southern tip of Africa, consists of a thick Meso-Cainozoic sedimentary sequence (up to 6.2 km) resting on and behind pre-Mesozoic continental acoustic basement. The stratigraphy of this sequence is outlined and its history and facies variations mentioned where they are known. Refraction seismic velocity and bottom sample data indicate a basic three-fold subdivision of the Mesozoic sequence, which can be correlated with the onshore succession in the Algoa Basin. It is separated by a major hiatus from the Cainozoic sediments, which consist of a Palaeogene and Neogene sequence subdivided by another well-defined level of erosion. Various formations within the Cainozoic are defined and named. An outline of the bathymetry of the eastern Agulhas Bank is also given.

    Description: Four palaeogeographical reconstructions are presented for the southern Cape covering the period Late Permian to Late Cretaceous. This time spans the commencement to an advanced stage of breakup of Gondwanaland, during which the area moved from a mid-continental, high latitude, to an ocean-dominated, middle latitude position. These movements can be traced in facies changes and erosional cycles associated with the rift between West Gondwana and Antarctica (proto southwest Indian Ocean) and the later rift between South America and Africa (proto southeast Atlantic Ocean).
