Although most of the observation of currents have been made at sea, the Institute has developed one remarkable instrument to predict ocean currents right in the laboratory. This apparatus consists of a large parabaloid bowl on which the outlines of the continents are raised. The bowl is set on a drive shaft that rotates it rapidly and evenly, while from four sides a battery of Kenmore vacuum cleaners blows a steady supply of "trade winds" late the hemisphere. The procedure into pour water into the bottom of the rotating parabaloid while centrifical force spreads it into an even sheet that...
