Synopsis

This book examines the historical relationship between wind velocity and barometric pressure, revealing the formula for calculating the former from the latter. Through tables and diagrams, the author demonstrates the adjustment of wind velocity to pressure, with discrepancies accounted for by surface conditions and the influence of land and sea. The author also examines local wind peculiarities and the variation of meteorological elements with altitude, comparing gradient wind with observed wind at altitude. In doing so, the book underscores the complex relationship between wind and pressure and provides valuable insights for understanding atmospheric circulation.
