Some New Methods in Meteorology ¹

Abstract

PROF. BIGELOW has here collected six studies. The first four deal with diurnal periods:—(i.) of temperature; (ii.) of barometric pressure; (iii.) of vapour tension, electric potential, and coefficient of dissipation; (iv.) of terrestrial magnetism; (v.) treats of the variable action of the sun and its effects upon terrestrial weather conditions; whilst (vi.) is a general review of the status of cosmical meteorology.
