Abstract

THE downstream component of the turbulent velocity has been recorded in a sea-water channel with a Reynolds number, based on the depth, of 4 × 107. The measurements were made near the southern end of Discovery Passage (50° 00′ N., 125° 12.5′ W.) with a tidal current of 100 cm./sec. flowing northward at the point of observation. At this point the channel is about one mile wide and the water has been flowing with a depth of about sixty metres for a little over a mile, having entered the passage from the wide and deep basin of Georgia Strait.
