Secondly, I cannot help hoping that in spite Of all that has been accomplished this volume may stimulate further research along similar lines. The faithful work of the meteorological observer, day after day and year after year, lays the foundation stones of climatology. Upon such records our knowledge Of climate must be based. The advancement of our science, how ever, greatly needs, in addition, the enthusiastic devotion and hard work of intelligent students who will observe and describe local climatic conditions and phenomena and thereby enrich and enliven our knowledge of our country's climates.

Download or read book The Climates of the Continents Classic Reprint written by W. G. Kendrew and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Climates of the Continents A work of this kind must be essentially a compilation from such materials as statistics, more or less adequate, maps showing certain factors of climate, and regional descriptions; the result is largely dependent on the nature of the original sources. A glance at the following pages will show that no uniformity of treatment has been achieved or even attempted. The principle followed has been to present the main features of the climate of each region considered especially in relation to the greater units of the globe. It is' clearly impossible to give any detailed local descriptions in a book of this scope. But it is hoped that the general account may constitute a framework into which detailed local descriptions may be intelligently fitted, a convenient skeleton to carry the details necessary for the special purposes of the meteorologist, the botanist, the zoologist, and the geographer. As it seemed desirable to make each chapter as far as possible complete in itself, repetition has been in some places inevitable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Climatology of Florida The President, Dr. Daniel, appointed me one of the essayists on this occasion, and I have selected as a subject for a few remarks, the Climatology of Florida, with United States and Continental comparisons. In treating this sub ject, I shall not aim at originality. In the language of Dr. Outs, of New York, I make the attempt to enlighten the public, more especially the medical public, on the subject of the Climate of Florida, its adaptability as a health resort, and especially to remove certain unfounded ideas and preja dices which have been wide spread and deeply rooted in Northern communities. It is somewhat surprising that this should be the case with medical men, since positive informa tion on the subject has always been accessible to them in the volumes of the Medical Statistics of the United States Army, the Army Medical Reports, and the Reports of the Adjutant General's Cmce.

Download or read book The Climatic Factor as Illustrated in Arid America Classic Reprint written by Ellsworth Huntington and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Climatic Factor as Illustrated in Arid America The lines of reasoning followed thus far are similar to those which I have employed in respect to various countries of Asia, and which were first set forth in a volume entitled Exploration in Turkestan, published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1905, and have been amplified and revised in The Pulse of Asia and Palestine and its Trans formation, published ih 1907 and 1911, respectively. The conclusions derived from these lines of reasoning are open to the criticism that a preconceived theory may have led to the interpretation of phenomena according to that theory. Hence, before the conclusions here indicated deserve final acceptance, it is necessary to compare them with the results Obtained by the observations of other unprejudiced workers, or with the independent results of some new method in which the personal equation plays no part. Fortunately the work of Professor A. E. Douglass, of the University of Arizona, suggests a method by which old trees may be used as a mathematical measuring-rod in order to determine exactly what climatic events have occurred during the last or years. Accord ingly, considerable space will be devoted to setting forth the results of the measurement of the rate of growth of nearly 500 Sequoia trees among the Sierra Mountains in California. A large number of other measurements of trees by the United States Forest Service have been kindly put at the disposal of the Carnegie Institution of Washington by the Forester, Mr. Henry S. Graves, and a discussion of them is included in this volume. By purely mathematical methods, unaffected by any personal bias, it has been possible to obtain curves indicating the climatic pulsations of the last years. A comparison of these curves with the results obtained from other lines of evidence, both in America and Asia, shows that in spite of certain disagreements the general climatic history of both continents appears to have been characterized by similar pulsations having a periodicity of hundreds or thousands of years.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Climate and Diseases of America The pamphlet in which were printed the following letters, addressed to Professor Delius of Erlangen, was unearthed while I was ransacking an antiquarian bookstore in Munich, Bavaria. The letters have been considered of medico-historical interest, and as I cannot learn that they are to be found in any library on this side of the Atlantic, I venture to lay them before the profession. The pamphlet bears the date 1781, and was printed in Erlangen. The notes and introduction to the following translation are mine.

The time of the occurrence of the minimum temperature, making allowance for the season and the time of sunrise, is also determined by the nature of the locality. Over a purely marine locality the minimum occurs always a certain time (from 1 to 2 hours) before sunrise, and over dry and arid regions, in the interior of continents, and especially in deserts, almost exactly at the time of sunrise or a little (15 minutes) later. In the winter months, however, the time of the occurrence of the mini mum is always much earlier than sunrise, and so it is only in localities with continental climates that the minimum occurs m winter about the time of sunrise, as follows.

Download or read book Atlas of Climatic Types in the United States 1900 1939 Classic Reprint written by Charles Warren Thornthwaite and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Atlas of Climatic Types in the United States, 1900-1939 Drought is a hazard from which few parts Of the United States are entirely free. It is exceptional in the humid East, occurs moderately Often in the subhumid Middle West, strikes with discouraging frequency in the semiarid Great Plains, and is chronic in the arid Southwest. Drought entails little or no agricultural risk in humid or arid climates. In the one, unfavorable years are too few to be taken into account, and in the other, favorable years are so unusual that agriculture is not attempted without irrigation. Drought takes its greatest toll in the transitional subhumid and semiarid regions. In the semiarid region the occasional favorable year encourages farming, but unfavorable years come SO Often that agriculture may be unprofitable or even impossible on a permanent basis. If coming droughts could be anticipated at planting time, much loss could be avoided. As yet, however, dependable seasonal forecasts cannot be made. Although drought years and flood years cannot be predicted, it is possible by using the many records Of the United States Weather Bureau to determine the frequency with which droughts or other climatic events are likely to occur. Such information is of great aid in evaluating the agricultural potentialities Of a region. It is essential to effective land use planning and to intelligent evaluation Of erosion hazard. It can tell for a particular area whether, over a period of years, agricultural successes can be expected sufficiently Often to make continued farming possible. Similar information can be Obtained for the grazing regions. Climatic analysis Of actuarial type Should form the basis for policy and action in regions of high climatic risk, such as the Great Plains. Evaluation Of use capabilities of any area should be based on a climatic index. Edaphic factors at one site may to some extent minimize the climatic hazard; at another, they may actually accentuate it. A detailed soil or land-type survey will determine the edaphic variation of the individual field above or below the use capability imposed on the area by climate. The edaphic effect of different soil types is relatively small as compared with the larger effect of differences of climate over the continent.
