Sea surface-temperature and meteorological observations made on the Carnegie during her sub-Antractic cruise, December 6, 1915, to April 1, 1916
Abstract
Table 1 contains the results of sea surface-temperature and meteorological observations made on board the Carnegie during her sub-Antarctic cruise,1 December 6, 1915-April 1, 1916, from Lyttelton (New Zealand) to South Georgia and Lyttelton. Reports that have thus far come from this region are few and incomplete, and as the part of the Great Southern Ocean traversed is the scene of such rapid and extreme changes in meteorological conditions, any additional information on the subject may be of interest.The Carnegie made a complete circum-navigation of the globe; from west to east, mainly between the parallels of latitude 50° and 60° south, in one season, the summer of 1915-1916, during which Sir Ernest Shackelton's expedition was meeting with such serious reverses. The meteorological observations made by the two parties of his expedition, and those obtained on the Carnegie, are especially valuable because they are contemporaneous records of the conditions prevailing in different parts of the southern regions at that time.
