Included in the area of distribution of Salmo salar are the western coasts of Europe as far south as the Franco-Spanish border as well as the British Isles and Iceland, and, in addition, the eastern coast of Canada and the United States down to the State of Maine. A very large number of investigations have been made in Great Britain and various European countries, both by marking the fish in order to trace their subsequent growth and movements, and by reading their age and history from the scales. Length calculations from scale measurements have also been made in Scotland, Norway, and Sweden.

Theoretical Results

Abstract The generally large source area for seawave generated microseisms does not readily allow consideration of these events as unidirectional. Rather, these wave patterns must be due to a complicated interference system, whose properties can be described only by statistics. In this study it is postulated that the generation of microseisms results as the superpositon of the outputs of a large number N of seismic oscillators. These oscillators are randomly distributed both in space and time. This random distribution necessarily implies that the phase angles of incoming waves are randomly distributed too. The statistical properties of the resultant ground motion, outside of the generation area, is investigated theoretically. Special attention is given to the probability distributions of the vertical amplitudes and the horizontal vector amplitudes. Good agreement is found between these theoretical results and the measurements obtained from particle motion diagrams. Additionally, the theoretical results lead to two methods for determination of the microseismic directions of approach. Both of these techniques were applied to the microseismic storm of January 28, 1963. This storm was generated by a well-developed cyclonic system off the east coast of the United States and Canada. Basic data for the study were obtained from the long-period seismograms of 5 stations (Rolla and Florissant, Mo., Bloomington, Ind., Dubuque, Iowa, and Ann Arbor, Mich.). The resulting analysis gave generation areas off the southern coast of Newfoundland and eastern coast of the United States. Further use was made of the theory developed to investigate the character of the microseismic waves. This application showed the microseisms to be composed not only of clear, fundamental mode Rayleigh waves, but that Love wave motion was also present. Surprisingly the proportion of Love wave motion was found to be different at different stations. At Rolla, Florissant and Bloomington, it was predominant, while at Dubuque and Ann Arbor the Rayleigh wave motion was dominant.

Sea Currents

Due to the existence of the Earth's geomagnetic field, Lorentz’s forces constantly act on all sea currents. These forces distribute the charges of sea currents in both vertical and horizontal directions. In particular, this distribution manifests itself in the electric polarization of sea currents in directions perpendicular to them. So, earlier it was shown that the same Lorentz forces cause negative electrization of the Sargasso Sea. It is also shown here that the positive electrization of the western edge of the Gulf Stream and, consequently, the eastern coast of the United States is also caused by the Lorentz force arising from the interaction of this sea current with the vertical component of the geomagnetic field. It is also shown here that the positive electrization of east edge of California Current together with west coast of USA is also caused due to the similar reasons. All this allows us to conclude that an increased concentration of positive air ions is constantly retained in the air both in the east and in the west of the United States. This situation has caused the need for an analysis of how the predominantly positive electrization of the air affects both human health and their physical and mental activity. The results of this analysis are presented here. It is also shown that these results can be useful for residents of some other countries.
