    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: 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: 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: When determining vertical velocity spectra from temperature time series and the mean vertical temperature gradient, restrictions may arise friom the existence of fine-structre. Phillips (1971) and Garrett and Munk (1971_ have shown that the fine-structure contamination of internal gravity wave spectra can be written as a function of some statistical properties of the internal wave field and the vertical wave number spectrum of the fine-structure. A consistent set of current and temperature data was obtained during an experiment at Site D to study this problem. The wave number spectrum of the vertical temperature fine-structure and the apparent frequently spectrum of internal waves are determined from these data. In contrast to the asasumptions in the above models, our fine-structure data imply a wave number spectrum proportional to (wave number)−3 in the range which is important here. Using the above set of data, a model is suggested to describe the effect of fine-structure on vertical velocity spectra computed with the mean vertical temperature gradient. It indicates a maximum fine-structure contamination of the true frequency spectrum of internal gravity waves in the middle of the internal wave band, with less contamination at low and high frequencies.
