Many famous oceanographers spent time at
Bornö station.
In 1908, Johan Sandström performed his
famous experiments here.
These laid the foundation for an understanding of
the thermohaline
circulation of the world ocean.
Two diagrams from his classic publication
"Dynamische
Versuche mit Meerwasser" are shown below.
