Abstract
Based on measurements during the "Atlantic Seamount Cruises 1967" with the German R. V. Meteor, (see Cwss et al., 1969; HORN et al., 1971), the fluctuations of temperature in the upper 275 meters are investigated. The analysis of 67 time-series yields the following :
1. Within the period range from 124 hours to 10 minutes fundamental oscillations and their harmonics occur permanently with relatively high amplitudes. These oscillations could be attributed to the diurnal (K1) and semidiurnal (M2) surface- and internal tidal waves as well as to their harmonics. It ought to be mentioned that in the surveyed area the K1-tide and the inertial wave have the same periods and could not be separated by spectrum analysis.
2. Interactions between the K1- or M2-waves and their harmonics by single superposition are shown in the observed periods. These two facts possibly can be explained by the perturbative influence of the Great Meteor Seamount on long wave motions.
3. Special investigations of the short period range lead to significant oscillations with periods between 15 and 40 minutes, which correspond to the Brunt-Väisälä-frequency calculated from the mean density distribution.
4. The diurnal variation of tempernture at the sea surface has a mean amplitude of 0.3 °C and a penetration depth of about 55 m. The mean vertical eddy conductivity amounts to 260 g cm-1 sec-1.
