Avoiding The Centres Of Rotating Storms
Figures 1 and 2, enlarged and printed on narrow rings of stiff cardboard, are employed for this purpose. The letters outside the thick circle are intended to distinguish the points of the compass, and in use should always coincide with those point...
Localities For Additional Observations
In sketching out a system of barometric observation having especial reference to the acquisition of data from which the _barometric character_ of certain large areas of the surface of the globe may be determined--inasmuch as such areas are distingui...
Lower Latitudes
NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. Axis line, wind N.E., barometer falling, first half of storm. Axis line, wind S.W., barometer rising, last half of storm. RIGHT-HAND SEMICIRCLE. Wind E.N.E., E., E.S.E., S.E., barometer falling, storm increasing. ...
Observations
In sketching out a system of observation having especial reference to atmospheric waves and rotatory storms, regard has been had--_first_, to the instruments that should be used, the observations to be made with them, the corrections to be applied...
Phenomena Of Atmospheric Waves
Professor Dove of Berlin has suggested that in the temperate zones the compensating currents of the atmosphere necessary to preserve its equilibrium may be arranged as parallel currents on the _surface_, and not superposed as in or near t...
Phenomena Of Revolving Storms
It is the object of the following pages to exhibit, so far as observation may enable us, and in as brief a manner as possible, the connexion, if any, that exists between those terrific meteorological phænomena known as "revolving storms,...
Seasons For Extra Observations
In reference to certain desiderata that have presented themselves in the course of my researches on this subject (see Report of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, 1846, p. 163), the _phases_ of the larger barometric undulations,...
Storms Hurricanes And Typhoons
The solution of the question--How far and in what manner are storms connected with atmospheric waves?--must be extremely interesting to every one engaged in either the naval or merchant service. As we have in the former chapters directed attention t...
Times Of Observation
There can be no question that the greatest amount of information, the accuracy of the data supplied, and in fact every meteorological element necessary to increase our knowledge of atmospheric waves, may be best obtained by an uninterrupted series...
