Book Description
Excerpt from A Short Course in Elementary Meteorology The British Empire has produced some of the world's foremost meteorologists - Halley, Beaufort, Abercromby, Blan ford, Eliot, and Sh aw, to mention only a few - but, until recently, no one but a few specialists thought it worth his while to make a serious study of meteorology. But things have now changed, for the war taught us the importance of meteorology in practical life, and the aviator has arrived with his active life in the region of nature which we meteorologists have only looked into from below. Meteorology, from being the hobby of a few and the life's work of a still smaller number of despised official weather prophets, has come into its own, and not only the aviator but the general public is asking for the means to study this neglected branch of science. It is, therefore, with the greatest pleasure that I welcome this little book and trust that it is only the first of a long series, for meteorology is still in its infancy, and as it develops text-books must be rewritten or they will become worse than useless.

Book Description
ELEMENTARY METEOROLOGY BY WILLIAM MORRIS DAVIS 1894, PREFACE. THOSE who are already acquainted with, the science of meteorology will need no words of mine to show that the greatest share of whatever value this book may contain comes from my having studied and followed the work of the late Professor William Ferrel of Washington. To his remarkable insight and ingenious analysis we owe the best part of the understanding of general atmospheric processes that has yet been reached. Those who here first come to know something of the science of the atmosphere, and who are perhaps thus brought to desire further acquaintance with it, should not fail to study TTerrePs Popular Treatise on the Winds, in which his more mathematical essays are reduced to a simpler form. Yet after Ferrel, an almost equal indebtedness must be acknowledged to Professor Julius Hann of Vienna, from whose broad and accurate studies I have found assistance at every turn. His Klimatologie, the standard work of the kind, and his numerous special articles, have furnished me with much information as well as with many well-defined examples of meteorological conditions and processes. The names of many other meteorologists to whom acknowledgment is due come to mind while revising the pages of this book, which presents the condensed results of my reading, observing and teaching during the last fifteen years. Some of these names are mentioned on the appropriate pages, but in general-1 have not attempted to make explicit reference to the sources of information that have been consulted, believing that in a school book, as this is primarily intended to be, such references are not of much value, especially as they too commonly lead to so m es of information inaccessible in school libraries. A personal acknowledgment must, however, be made here to Mr. H. H. Clayton, of Blue Hill Observatory, for assistance in connection with the chapter on clouds to Mr. Alexander McAdie, of the Weather Bureau in Washington, for his advice in the sections on atmospheric electricity and to Mr. E. DeC. Ward, successor of Professor Harrington as editor of the American Meteorological Journal, for many suggestions in connection with the teaching of meteorology, in which he has for some years been associated with me in Harvard College. IV PREFACE. There are certain books to which the teacher and the independent student should, if possible, have access. Besides the works by Ferrel and Harm, above named, the list should include Abercrombys Weather New York, 1887, Blanfords Climates and Weather of India London, 1889, Buchaus article on Meteorology in the ninth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica and his essay on Atmospheric Circulation, with its elaborate series of isothermal and isobaric charts for every month in the year, in a volume of the report on the Challenger Expedition London, 1889 unfortunately, only a small edition of this great work has been published, and its cost is comparatively high, Eliots Handbook of Cyclones in the, Bay of Bengal Calcutta, 1890, Greelys American Weather New York, 1888, Scotts Elementary Meteorology London, 1885, Sprungs LeJtrbuch der Meteorologie Hamburg, 1885 the best elementary mathematical statement of the subject, and Waldos Modern Meteorology New York, 1893. The meteorological section of Berghaus Physische Atlas Gotha, 1887, will he found of much assistance. Abbes translation of foreign meteorological memoirs, recently published by the Smithsonian Institution, will be useful to those who are proficient in mathematical physics, as indicating the direction of advanced research in meteorology by the best European investigators...

Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Exercises in Elementary Meteorology The advance of meteorology as a school study has been much hampered by the lack of a published outline of work in this subject which may be undertaken during the school years. There are several excellent text-books for more advanced study, but there is no laboratory manual for use in the elementary portions of the science. In many secondary schools some instruction in meteorology is given, and the keeping of meteorological records by the scholars is every year becoming more general. There is yet, however, but little system in this work, and, in consequence, there is little definite result. The object of this book is to supply a guide in the elementary observational and inductive studies in meteorology. This Manual is not intended to replace the text-books, but is designed to prepare the way for their more intelligent use. Simple preliminary exercises in the taking of meteorological observations, and in the study of the daily weather maps, as herein suggested, will lay a good foundation on which later studies, in connection with the textbooks, may be built up. Explanations of the various facts discovered through these exercises are not considered to lie within the scope of this book. They may be found in any of the newer text-books. This Manual lays little claim to originality. Its essential features are based on the recommendations in the Report on Geography of the Committee of Ten.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Complete Course of Meteorology Soon after the appearance of the original Ger. Man edition, a French translation with notes was published (1843) by M. Man'rms, a philosopher, well acquainted with practical meteorology, having taken the observations at Norway and Spitzbergen, in 1838 and 1839, in the voyage of La Recherche; as also observations at Paris, on the Faulhorn, and elsewhere. In August of the present year he reached the summit of Mont Blanc, in conjunction with his friend M. Baavus: to the latter gentle man we are indebted for several notes in the present volume, he having communicated all the result: that he had time to reduce from the observations of the Commission of the North, and from those made on the Faulhorn. His notes are indicated throughout the work by the letter B; those of M. Maarms, by the letter M. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
