The Kowloon
Bridge, a 140,000 ton ore carrier went on the Stag Rocks in
West Cork on 24th November 1986. Fuel oil from the carrier
was discharged over a period into the sea. Some of this was
washed up on West Cork beaches. We invited to Ireland, from
the U.K., the noted independent oil pollution scientist, Dr.
Jenny Baker. Her brief was:
To access
the damage
If there was damage - her recommendations for the clean up.
Bulletins Nos. 6,7,8, are her reports on the problem.

The duration
of bright sunshine has been measured daily at the Station
since August 1974. A Campbell-Stokes sunshine recorder is
used. This consists of a glass sphere mounted in such a way
that the sun's rays are focused sharply on a card held in
position concentric with the sphere. The sunshine is recorded
by burn or scorch marks on the card. The sunshine must be
above a certain intensity before it records a burn or scorch
mark on the card, and when sunshine is interrupted by cloudiness
there is a break in the trace.
For this
study the sunshine records of Sherkin Island from August 1974
to December 1984 are considered. The records of Valentia Observatory,
Roches Point and Rosslare from 1975 to 1984 are included as
a comparison.

Island 1975-1984

Air temperatures
have been measured at Sherkin Island by the marine station
since 1975 and have been obtained using thermometers exposed
at a height of 1.2 metres above ground level. The thermometers
are housed in a Stevenson Screen which is painted white for
protection from direct radiation from the sun. The Maximum
thermometer is a standard "mercury-in-glass" thermometer
while minimum temperatures are obtained using an "alcohol-in-glass"
thermometer. The mean temperature is taken as the arithmetic
mean of the mean daily maximum and mean daily minimum values.
For this
study the air temperature records of Sherkin Island from August
1975 to 1984 are considered. The records of Valentia Observatory,
Roches Point and Rosslare from 1975 to 1984 are included as
a comparison.
