A Chronology of Undersea Exploration.1818 Sir John Ross lowers a line more than a mile into the North Atlantic and hauls up worms and a large sea star. 1843 Edward Forbes proposes that no substantial life can exist below three hundred fathoms. 1858 The
HISTORY OF OCEANOGRAPHY.I. Early History.1. Pytheas determined how to find latitude.2. Eratosthenes made a very close measurement of the Earth s circumference (about 40,000 km or 25,000 mi).3. Aristotle catalogued 180 species of marine animals
BACKGROUND INFORMATION.Temperature and salinity (the amount of dissolved salts in the water) affect the density of the water. Ocean salinity differs by small numbers, so oceanographers need to be accurate when measuring salinity. Changes in density caused
