	Harald Ulrik Sverdrup biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Harald Ulrik Sverdrup was born in Norway in November 1888.
		Under Sverdrup, SIO was transformed into a modern oceanographic institution, initially concentrating on study of the California Current and the Gulf of California.
		Inspired during his SIO years to unite oceanic physics and biology, Sverdrup quantified the concept of "critical depth" (formulated earlier by the Norwegian H. Gran and the American G. Riley) in 1953, explaining the onset of the spring phytoplankton bloom in newly stratified water columns.

	Harald Sverdrup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harald Ulrik Sverdrup (November 15, 1888 – August 21, 1957) was a Norwegian oceanographer and meteorologist who made a number of important theoretical discoveries in these fields.
		Having first worked in Bergen and Leipzig he was involved in the North Polar expedition of Roald Amundsen between 1917 and 1925, before taking the chair in meteorology at Bergen, where his primary interest slowly became oceanography.
		He was made director of California's Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) in 1936, initially for 3 years but the intervention of World War II meant he held the post until 1948.

	Harald Ulrik Sverdrup, November 15, 1888—August 21, 1957 \| By William A. Nierenberg \| Biographical Memoirs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Sverdrup felt that the long years in the Arctic and the heavy responsibilities of his work as chief scientist were justified by the firsthand experience he gained in field research and data taking, but seven years away from home would seem to have overdone it.
		Sverdrup's contributions to physical oceanography were many and varied, as his publications list indicates, but his major breakthrough in the interpretation of ocean currents was his demonstration that the systematic use of the curl of the vector current greatly simplified the understanding of the movements.
		Sverdrup recognized that the curl of the surface wind stress was the primary agent in transferring mechanical energy to the ocean, usually labeled as the wind-induced curl.

		In the first, Harald Sverdrup (1947) showed that the circulation in the upper kilometer or so of the ocean is directly related to the curl of the wind stress.
		In deriving the relationship, Sverdrup assumed that the flow is stationary, that lateral friction and molecular viscosity are small, and that turbulence near the sea surface can be described using an eddy viscosity.
		Sverdrup's relationship is so central to theories of the ocean circulation that almost all discussions assume it to be valid without any comment at all and proceed to calculate its consequences for higher-order dynamics...

	THE LOYALTY CASE OF HARALD SVERDRUP: NATIVISM IN AMERICAN SCIENCE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Although Sverdrup’s integrity was defended on the highest levels of U.S. science, doubt was cast upon him by faculty at SIO, who accused him of being a Nazi sympathizer.
		In being denied access to major areas of scientific work, Sverdrup’s position as a leader of American oceanography was undermined, as his vision of international oceanography in pursuit of natural knowledge gave way to the interpretation of oceanography as a matter of national security.
		Sverdrup's case is illustrative of the difficulties that foreign-born scientists have sometimes had in American science.

	A Century of Students
		Upon Vaughan's retirement in 1936, Norwegian scientist Harald Sverdrup was recruited as the institution's third director.
		Sverdrup required all students to complete core courses in physical oceanography, marine chemistry, biological oceanography, and marine geology before pursuing their specialized subdisciplines.
		This teaching format, the "Sverdrup curriculum," became the model for graduate education in oceanography at many institutions both in the United States and Europe.

		When I returned to the Scripps Institution at the end of W.W.II as a student of Harald Sverdrup, physical oceanography was still practiced in the tradition of the Challenger expedition, with a few isolated research vessels probing the world oceans.
		But about ten times this power is needed for downward diffusion (presumably along topographic features) to maintain the abyssal stratification against the formation of 25 Sverdrup's of deep and bottom water, for otherwise the ocean would fill up with cold water in 3000 years.
		When Harald Sverdrup and I worked on wave predictions during W.W.II, we fitted waves to discrete sinusoids.
