摘要:

Aerography may be defined in a general way as a study of the structure of the atmosphere. There are various ways of obtaining information regarding the flow of air at different levels and the conditions of density, pressure, and temperature of the mixture of air and vapor. Exploration of the upper air has been accomplished by means of close study of the clouds; the establishment of mountain observatories; the ascent of manned balloons; kites and kite balloons; sounding balloons and pilot balloons. To these we propose to add another where measurement is made from the deck of a vessel by employing certain predetermined lapse rates, or rates of fall in temperature with elevation.

摘要:

As a frontispiece to the “Manual of Meteorology,” Part IV, “The Relation of Wind to the Distribution of Barometric Pressure,” Sir Napier Shaw gives three storm paths of unusual duration and remarkable recurvature.Perhaps the most striking of these is a track of a typhoon orbaguiocharted by McAdie. This storm path was determined by the usual method of connecting pressure minima. The readings were obtained from abstracts of ships' logs, available through the courtesy of the Hydrographic Office. Surface winds and cloud directions were utilized as much as p
