About this title

Synopsis

Practical guide for weather observers and instrument users, drawing on the Royal Meteorological Society’s methods.

This handbook, titled Hints to Meteorological Observers, offers clear, field‑tested directions for using common recording instruments, from chart ink and pen adjustments to maintaining correct alignment with the day’s data. It also describes how to collect upper‑air information using kites and balloons, and outlines when to photograph atmospheric phenomena for permanent records.

The book combines hands‑on instructions with structured observation lists. Readers will learn how to prepare and read recording devices, how to set up and interpret upper‑air measurements, and how to document events such as floods, dust, hail, and other notable occurrences. It also includes practical guidance on maintaining long‑term records and comparing data across stations.

Step‑by‑step instrument use and chart maintenance for reliable records.
Guidance on kite and balloon forecasts, plus methods for tracing upper‑air currents.
Structured phenological and biological observations, with recommended plants and birds.
Compiled references to meteorology books, journals, and station practices.

Ideal for readers building a meticulous, long‑running weather log or studying historical meteorology techniques.
