The Surface Trajectories of Moving Air ¹

Abstract

THE Meteorological Office has just published the results of an investigation into the movements of the air during storms and periods of barometric depression affecting the North Atlantic and western Europe. The authors deal, not so much with the discussion of theories about cyclones as with the results of direct observations on the direction and force of the winds as recorded at as many stations and as often as possible. Apart from ships logs, the records from about 200 stations have been utilised.
