Barogram Analysis in Weather Forecasting

Abstract

THE Italian meteorologist, Francesco Vercelli, has made a laborious study of barographic records from various parts of the world, and various periods and seasons, submitting these curves to a process of periodigram analysis on the lines familiar in tidal investigations, or as applied to the study of seiches in lakes by the late Prof. Chrystal. The results are described in full detail in a booklet published last year in Rome, under the auspices of the Geophysical Institute of Trieste, entitled “Nuovi esperimenti di previsioni meteorologiche.”
