The Progress of the Development of the Law of Storms, and of the Variable Winds, With the Practical Application of the Subject to Navigation - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explains the Law of Storms, which describes how cyclones evolve, how winds change direction, and the barometer's role in these processes. While previous meteorologists only studied storms at high latitudes on land, the author expanded the study to include tropical cyclones observed at sea, and identified that storms rotate in predictable ways depending on the hemisphere they're in. By better understanding how cyclones form and move, sailors can predict their behavior and take precautions to avoid their most dangerous quadrants. The insights in this book have been borne out by modern meteorological observations, making it a classic text for students of weather and climate.
