Excerpt from A Practical Method for Determining Ocean Currents This paper endeavors to encompass in a general way the foregoing subject with its various aspects. The contents deal with the fol lowing: The causes of currents; static consideration of a water mass; dynamics and Bjerknes' theory; and a practical method for mapping currents. Other related subjects discussed are friction; effect of bottom configuration; tides; variations in atmospheric pressures; and the winds. The writer has tried to present a rather technical scientific subject in such a manner that it may easily be understood by the ordinary student. Always there has been the hope that the methods elucidated herein would serve some practical economic service. I wish to recognize with appreciation the advice and suggestions made with regard to this paper by the curator of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, and the hydrographic engineer, United States Hydrographic Office.
