About this title

Synopsis

Explore the climate and weather of Death Valley, one of America's most extreme deserts, through the first Weather Bureau bulletin on the area.

This non-fiction work presents a careful look at the physical setting, the instruments used to study it, and the observations that reveal how the valley’s fierce heat, sparse water, and dramatic geography shape its daily weather.

The text explains where Death Valley sits, its nearby mountain ranges, and how the valley’s unique basin contributes to its climate. It discusses the valley’s salt marsh, dry sands, and the surrounding desert shrubs, along with the flow of the Amargosa River and Furnace Creek. You’ll also learn about the station setup, the measurement tools, and how data were collected to understand the valley’s atmosphere over time.
What you will experience

A clear map of Death Valley’s physical features and boundaries
A description of the meteorological instruments and station layout
An explanation of how observations were collected and interpreted
An overview of the valley’s weather patterns and notable findings

Ideal for readers of historical science, desert geography, and early weather research who want a grounded look at how scientists studied one of the world’s harshest climates.
