The Structure of the Atmosphere in Clear Weather (Classic Reprint): A Study of Soundings, With Pilot Balloons: A Study of Soundings, with Pilot Balloons (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Understanding wind in the sky through early flight science Explore how wind currents are measured from balloons and ground instruments, turning complex air movement into clear lines of sight and practical insights.
This book surveys the methods used to study the upper air and explains how observers tracked balloon trajectories with theodolites, measured wind speed and direction at different heights, and assessed the accuracy of their results. It ties these observations to broader questions about how the atmosphere behaves beyond the surface, including the relationship between wind, pressure, and temperature.
- Learn how the motion of balloons and theodolites reveals wind at various heights
- See how researchers group upper-air winds into five main types and compare them with surface flow
- Understand the process of turning trajectory data into usable wind diagrams and velocity profiles
- Discover how these historical methods informed aviation and meteorology
Ideal for readers with an interest in the history of meteorology, early aviation science, and how scientists decoded the atmosphere from the ground up.

Excerpt from The Structure of the Atmosphere in Clear Weather: A Study of Soundings, With Pilot Balloons
The investigation of the Wind currents of the air above the surface layers is one of the greatest importance in the study of meteorology; one reason for the Slow advance made by this science in the last fifty years is to be found in the fact that until quite recently meteorologists only took note of that part of the atmosphere that was close to the surface Of the earth, and beyond some cloud Observations and a few isolated records, such as those obtained by Glaisher, nothing was known of the conditions existing in the free air. The recent rise Of aviation and its probable extension in the near future make it more than ever necessary to investigate the nature of the currents in the free air above the surface Of the earth.

Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the structure of the Earth's atmosphere in clear weather through the analysis of over 200 pilot balloon observations. Compiled by the author, these observations were gathered over a period of several years and reveal the complex and dynamic nature of our atmosphere. The book begins by describing the methods used to observe pilot balloons and the techniques employed to calculate wind velocity and direction at different heights. The author then presents a series of case studies, each of which provides a detailed analysis of a specific balloon ascent. These case studies demonstrate the wide variety of atmospheric structures that can be encountered, from relatively simple, steady-state conditions to complex, time-varying patterns. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings for our understanding of atmospheric dynamics and climate. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332316618_0
