GENERAL OCEANOGRAPHY AND LONG RANGE RESEARCH.

Abstract

The work embraced studies of waves; currents, circulation, mixing, and turbulence (based on measurements of water motion, distribution of dissolved substances, and temperature distribution); the morphology of the sea bottom and processes controlling it; the materials of the sea bottom, and the sub-bottom structure; the movement of beach material and shallow sediments; the distribution of organisms as related to their own biotic properties and to the properties of water masses and sediments; and the development of instruments and other equipment.
