...North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering. They were the kind of pupils a professor prays for-housewives, doctors, lawyers, mechanics. None had a thought of cutting a class; all were anxious for final exams, the chance to check theory with practice in the deep-running Gulf Stream ten miles offshore, in the surf on the white-duned Carolina beaches, or on calm, clear Carolina lakes...
Large-scale charts show ocean currents circling neatly back on the surface to the places from which they come. Oceanographer Henry Stommel of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution became convinced by theory that much water also returns along the ocean bottom. The north-flowing Gulf Stream, he suspected, should have directly under it a south-flowing countercurrent. Nature tells how a joint expedition of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Britain's National Institute of Oceanography found the counter Gulf Stream exactly where Stommel figured it should...
...research ships, Britain's Discovery II and the Atlantis from Woods Hole, selected stations off the South Carolina coast where the Gulf Stream runs rapidly northward. The scientists on the Atlantis began sampling water from the surface to the bottom. This gave the differences of temperature, salinity, oxygen content, etc., that theoreticians think are associated with deep-down currents...
...Swallow released successive floats from the Discovery II. Each sank to a predetermined depth and sent back ultrasonic beeps that allowed them to be followed by submarine-detecting apparatus. When set to sink only a few thousand feet, the floats drifted north with the Gulf Stream, but between 4,500 and 6,000 ft. their motion practically stopped. Deeper down they drifted southward, at as much as one-third mile per hour. With the counter Gulf Stream proved to be real, the oceanographers can apply their theories with stepped-up confidence to other parts of the ocean depths...
...week, nearly 18 years after the museum's doors had been closed by war, they were at last reopened. In the rebuilt interior, only one item of decor was salvaged from the original structure: the gold-and-white great portal of the main Rubens room (see cut). A stream of proud Münchners flooded every gallery in the building. They noted such improvements as the overhead skylights and lighting, and walls tapestried with ivory silk. Hanging against them with vibrant life were 800 paintings, the world-famous masterpieces back home again: Dürer's Four Apostles...
