Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines a chapter of meteorology rarely discussed in its entirety, the optical phenomena of the atmosphere. The author, a scientist on the Belgian Antarctic Expedition, provides a rich account of his observations and reflections on phenomena like solar and lunar halos, rainbows, and mirages. His descriptions are illuminated by references to historical accounts and theories, making this book a valuable resource for meteorologists, atmospheric physicists, optical scientists, polar explorers, and anyone interested in the wonders of the polar sky. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This study gives a deep dive into the observations of water density recorded during the Belgian Antarctic Expedition on board the ship Belgica, begun in 1897. The expedition sailed through the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and into uncharted Antarctic waters. Along the way, the author and J. Thoulet meticulously collected density samples from both surface waters and depths of up to 1,000 fathoms. These observations were made alongside temperature readings, allowing for a comprehensive view of water density behaviors under varying conditions. The author presents the results of their extensive data in numerical tables accompanied by insightful commentary that highlights the nuances of water density as affected by factors like depth, location, and temperature. This book stands apart with its granular analysis of water density in the late 19th century, offering a unique look into an essential element of oceanography and early polar exploration.
