The scientists on the Atlantis began sampling water from the surface to the bottom. This gave the differences of temperature, salinity, oxygen...

Another instrument which crowds the cabin of the Atlantis bears the unprepossessing name of Geomagneticelectro-kinetograph (affectionately known as the "geek") and measures temperatures difference in the water by exploiting changes in the earth's magnetic field in a long wire loop dragged behind the boat. Using the principles of...
