The Structure of the Atmosphere in Clear Weather: A Study of Soundings with Pilo

Description: The Structure of the Atmosphere in Clear Weather by C.J.P. Cave Originally published in 1912, this book presents the result of various experiments into the wind currents in the air above the surface layers of our atmosphere. Cave rigorously details the background to each experiment, which were done with pilot balloons tracked with a theodolite, and makes meteorological drawings based on the findings of each experiment. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Originally published in 1912, this book presents the result of various experiments performed between 1908 and 1909 into the wind currents in the air above the surface layers of our atmosphere. Cave rigorously details the background to each experiment, which were done with pilot balloons tracked with a theodolite, and makes meteorological drawings based on the findings of each experiment. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in meteorological history and the methodology of meteorological experiments before computers. Table of Contents List of illustrations; Introduction; 1. The structure of the atmosphere as disclosed by the observations of pilot balloons at Ditcham; 2. The methods of observing; 3. Checks on the accuracy of the methods of representing the results of the observations; 4.
