Synopsis
Excerpt from The Currents in the Gulf of St. Lawrence: From Investigations of the Tidal and Current Survey in the Seasons of 1894, 1895, 1896, 1906, 1908, 1911 and 1912
In the investigations, the steamer employed was anchored in positions care fully selected for the purpose in view. These were in all depths, up to 250 fath oms. The steamer thus served as a fixed point from which to observe the be haviour of the current. The observations of the current were obtained with cur rent meters registering electrically on board, and in continuous operation day and night. The speed was measured at the standard depth of 18 feet, in all cases. The wind velocity was measured by an anemometer on board; supplemented by complete meteorological observations at four hour intervals. A continuous record of the tide was obtained simultaneously for comparison with the currents. At tidal stations in the region, established by this Survey.
All directions and bearings are referred to true north. The time through out the Gull area is Standard time for the 60° meridian West of Greenwich.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate currents that flow through the Gulf of St. Lawrence, providing a comprehensive guide to their behavior and characteristics. The author meticulously examines the driving forces behind these currents, including tidal uctuations, prevailing winds, and the unique geographical features of the region. The study draws on extensive investigations conducted by the Canadian Survey of Tides and Currents, utilizing current meters and tidal stations to gather continuous data. Through these observations, the book reveals the distinct nature of the currents in various areas of the Gulf, from the constant GaspĆ current to the tidal streams in the Northumberland Strait. The book is particularly noteworthy for its detailed descriptions of the GaspĆ current, highlighting its strength, uctuations, and the inuence of wind on its behavior. Additionally, the author explores the Cape Breton current, the current off Cape Ray, and the westward movement of water along the west coast of Newfoundland. These insights are crucial for mariners navigating the Gulf, as they can help avoid hazardous situations and optimize their routes. Moreover, the study provides valuable information for scientists studying oceanography and climate change, as the Gulf of St. Lawrence is a dynamic and sensitive marine environment.
