Formulae, Tables, Figures, Maps (some with color). Fold-outs. DJ has wear, tears, soiling, and chips. Defant displays his interest in the theoretical explanation of oceanographic measurements, development…of the early theories of upper ocean structure/ Applying this analysis to both the "Meteor" data and all other available measurements, Defant described the mean condition of the upper layer and to gave some insight into the variability of this layer and its boundaries. Albert Joseph Maria Defant (July 12, 1884 - December 24, 1974) was an Italian-Austrian meteorologist, oceanographer and climatologist. He published fundamental works on the physics of the atmosphere and ocean and is regarded as one of the founders of physical oceanography. Defant was Professor of Cosmic Physics (corresponding to meteorology and geophysics) at Innsbruck University from 1919 to 1926. During that time he was able to show that large-scale structures in the atmosphere can provide meridional heat transport from tropical to high latitudes. He was rated as an expert on tides, and he was invited to participate in two cruises of the German survey vessel "Panther" in the North Sea in 1925 and 1926. Defant was Professor of Oceanography at the Friedrich- Wilhelms- Universität" and Director of the "Institut and Museum für Meereskunde" in Berlin from 1926 to 1945. The German Meteor expedition had been started in 1925. The chief scientist Alfred Merz died in Buenos Aires in 1925, and Albert Defant took over the task from 1926-27. Meteor was a German survey vessel, noted for her survey work in the Atlantic Ocean between 1925 and 1927. Handed over to the Soviet Union following World War II, the ship was renamed Ekvator. Her ultimate fate is not known. Her keel was laid at the Kaiserliche Werft at Danzig in February 1914 and Meteor was launched in January 1915. Originally intended to become a gunboat for the Imperial German Navy's colonial service she was not finished during the First World War due to limited need for lightly armed vessels. After the war the uncompleted hull was tugged to Wilhelmshaven for outfitting work at the Reichsmarinewerft. She was outfitted as a survey vessel and early sonar equipment was fitted. The ship had a steel hull with two propellers each driven by a triple-expansion steam engine. Additionally she had a brigantine rig to boost range. Meteor was commissioned as a military ship with the Reichsmarine but spent most of her life in a scientific role. Meteor entered service in November 1924 and made her maiden survey expedition between 20 January and 17 February 1925 with the main purpose to check the equipment. On 16 April 1925 Meteor started the German Atlantic expedition, also known as German Meteor expedition, and did not return to Germany until 2 June 1927. During this expedition the ship sailed more than 67,500 nautical miles (125,000 km; 77,700 mi) and took cross sections of the South Atlantic between Africa and South America mapping the entire ocean. In the course of this survey work Meteor found a bank (seamount) that rises to 560 metres (1,840 ft) below sea level from a depth of 4,000 metres (13,000 ft). This bank was named "Meteor Bank" (48°16 S 08°16 E). Presumed First Edition, First printing thus.

Teilbänden dieser zwischen 1932 und 1941 bei Walter de Gruyter erschienenen wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse der Deutschen Atlantischen Expedition (1925-1927). Die Expedition auf dem Schiff "Meteor" unter der Leitung von Alfred Merz und später Georg Wüst r…evolutionierte die Ozeanographie durch erstmals systematische Echolotmessungen im Südatlantik. Sie entdeckte und kartierte den Mittelatlantischen Rücken und fand mit dem "Meteortief" (8.264 m) und der "Meteor-Bank" (560 m) die tiefste bzw. flachste Stelle des Südatlantiks. Die von Albert Defant herausgegebene 16-bändige Reihe dokumentiert die bahnbrechenden Erkenntnisse zu Meeresströmungen, Geologie und Biologie. - Unser Konvolut (Tafeln und Beilagen nicht eingehend kollationiert, aber augenscheinlich komplett) umfasst: Bd. 1: F.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Meteor" offers a comprehensive scientific account of the groundbreaking German Atlantic Expedition conducted between 1925 and 1927. Authored by the distinguished oceanographer Dr. Albert Defant, this work details the systematic exploration of the South Atlantic Ocean aboard the research ves…sel Meteor. It represents a pivotal moment in the history of marine science, marking one of the first instances where modern echo-sounding technology was used to map the ocean floor with unprecedented precision.The text delves into various branches of earth science, including physical oceanography, meteorology, and marine biology. Defant provides rigorous observations on ocean currents, water temperature distributions, and atmospheric interactions, establishing a foundation for our contemporary understanding of global circulation patterns. By documenting the vertical structure of the Atlantic and the complex dynamics of its depths, "Meteor" serves as an essential primary source for scholars of environmental history and the evolution of oceanographic methods.This work remains a testament to the era of large-scale maritime exploration, highlighting the collaborative effort required to unlock the mysteries of the deep sea. Its contributions to hydrography and the study of the earth's climate systems continue to be recognized for their precision and scientific foresight.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
