A Collection of Meteorological Tables: With Other Tables Useful in Practical Meteorology (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Practical methods for measuring height and pressure in the field, with reliable tables you can trust.
This edition compiles essential techniques for converting atmospheric data into elevations, including how to compare barometric methods with the boiling-point method. It explains why pressures measured with a barometer are more direct and how small errors in temperature readings can affect altitude results. The book also highlights the hypsometric thermometer, a portable tool praised for travelers in rough terrain, and describes its best form and use.
- How to calculate height from barometric pressure and from changes in the boiling point of water
- Practical notes on the reliability and error sources of each method
- Details on Regnault’s hypsometric thermometer and its typical setup
- A table of barometric pressures corresponding to temperatures of boiling water, with cross‑checks from field observations

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of meteorological tables, charts, and conversions for use in practical meteorology. The author was motivated to write this book because many meteorological observations had accumulated and there were many different tables that scientists were using which needed to be standardized. This book provides a comprehensive set of tables for use in meteorology and includes everything necessary to reduce observations and the extensive comparisons that meteorologists perform to calculate results and make forecasts. The book also contains the necessary tables to calculate the height of a location by means of barometrical observations. The tables can also be used to compare measurements taken with different instruments, which frequently use a variety of scales. Anyone who uses meteorological data for scientific research, or who needs to reduce or compare observations, will benefit from this book. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332784899_0
