Popis: On account of the relative scarcity of data on nuclei over the oceans, the author repeated his earlier observations (1948) in July and August 1951 on the S.S. America from New York to Le Havre and back. The average number of nuclei found per cubic centimeter for the western half of the Atlantic was 1,512 on the eastward trip and 1,229 on the westbound trip. On the eastern half of the Atlantic, the respective figures were 462 and 887. The mean (total) was 956 in July and 1,019 in August. Both figures are somewhat higher than in 1948.
