Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Practical Exercises in Elementary Meteorology Classic Reprint written by Robert Decourcy Ward and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Course in Elementary Meteorology This unimposing little book is a remarkable one, for it marks an epoch; there are numerous books on elementary meteorology, but this is the first which has been written by a British teacher for a class of students who are learning meteorology as a qualification for their profession. The British Empire has produced some of the world's foremost meteorologists -Hailey, Beaufort, Abercromby, Blan - ford, Eliot, and Shaw, 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. This book has been written by a practical meteorologist for practical aviators and by a teacher for his students. This is an ideal combination and the product is not disappointing. I wish, however, to warn the student that there are many unsolved problems in meteorology, and therefore he should not be satisfied with any explanation or theory which the book contains. He has been given the best explanations which it is possible to give in the present state of our knowledge, limited in some cases by the need to use elementary considerations only. All this should, however, give him a greater interest in his work, for it will afford him plenty of opportunities to use his own brains, to say nothing of the possibility of his making an important discovery.

Download or read book Elementary Meteorology written by William Morris Davis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Meteorology 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 Ferrel's 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 I 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 sources 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. R. 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.

This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Meteorology an Introductory Treatise The present book has been written with the view of indicating these principles, putting them in their simplest form, and avoiding, as far as possible, the use of mathematical language. In this way the student who has only an elementary training in mathematics will be able to follow the reasoning. Also, as the book is intended to serve as an elementary text book, I have endeavoured to avoid developing any one part at the expense of another. Any chapter might quite easily be expanded into a book in itself, but in so doing the object for which the book is written would be lost sight of.
