Abstract
UP to the publication of this work by Prof. Mohn, our knowledge of the diurnal meteorological phenomena of this important part of the ocean was nearly altogether a blank. The interesting results here detailed are deduced from three series of hourly observations made during the Norwegian Expeditions in the summers of 1876, 1877, and 1878, which Prof. Mohn organised and carried out with a skill and a completeness that leave nothing to be desired. The new facts thus brought before us largely extend our knowledge of the physics of this portion of the North Atlantic.
