Global Greenhouse. While Eltanin's biologists ply their nets and trawls and her radiomen tune for whistlers, meteorologists studying the turbulent Antarctic atmosphere will launch weather balloons from a sheltering hangar on the ship's stern. Oceanographers will study the tossing sea water by measuring its temperature, salinity, and oxygen content at all depths ranging up from the bottom.

"He's coming lower," said excited Russian radiomen.
