Abstract
OBSERVATIONS of the warm bottom current flowing out of the Red Sea have been made in the past by the surveying ships Pola, Vitiaz, and Stork in the Straits of Bab-el-Mandeb, and the abnormally high temperatures below the surface in the Arabian Sea have been attributed to this source. Advantage has now been taken of some tests of deep-sea thermometers made in April and May of this year in H.M.S. Ormonde (Commander C. W. Rice) under the direction of Rear-Admiral H. P. Douglas, Hydrographer of the Navy, to follow this outflow eastwards.
