ing maximum and minimum thermometers were used and although
d'Urvilie realized that pressure might distort the readings, he published his
measurements indicating a constant temperature of 4 °C below a depth of
600 fathoms on which the erroneous theory was based that seawater, like
freshwater, reached its highest density at 4°C. Only after using thermometers protected against pressure, e.g., during the venus Expedition, were true
(lower) temperatures measured in the deep sea and studies on deep-sea circulation could start.
astronomical tides astronomical variations in the mutual positions of earth and
moon and earth and sun cause variations of the tides by variation of the tidegenerating potential, at roughly monthly, annual, and longer periods. As a
result, the tides can be considered the combination of a number of so-called
astronomical tides that can be divided into a group of semi-diurnal tides
(period about 12 h), diurnal tides (period about 24 h) and longer-period
(fortnightly, monthly, semi-annual, annual, and even longer-period) tides.
~harmonic analysis of tides and ~partial tides.
asymptotic length the maximum average length attained according to a fitted
growth curve.
