contributions deal wilh a cruise of the Meteor research vessel in
the Icelandic region, the upwelling phcnomenen. the relationship
between larce-scale mctcorological and cceanographic processes,
and ocean-wave resetren. As regards marine chemistry, information is given on new devclopments in instmunents which perform
conlinuous and automatic analyses with somo practical applications.
The radiological contribution concerns the aceunographie problems
connected vith the disposal of packarsed low-level radioactive
