Sinopsis
Excerpt from Natural Phenomena
There are many respects, indeed, in which, outside the tropics, the solar changes relating to the day have a close analogy to the solar changes relating to the year. Daily, as well as yearly, we have the Sun mounting up wards in the heavens, reaching its greatest elevation, and slowly descending. We may compare the crossing of the meridian by the Sun, midway in its daily visible journey, to its reaching its highest point in the heavens at the summer solstice, midway between its crossing of the equator in its progress into our hemisphere, and its subsequent crossing of the equator on its return to the opposite hemisphere. In the day, as well as in the year, the power of the Sun gradually increases, reaches its maximum, and gradually declines.

Excerpt from Natural Phenomena: A Collection of Descriptive and Speculative Essays on Some of the by-Paths of Nature
Although the attempts to reach the North Pole, laborious and carefully planned as they have been, have hitherto failed to achieve their primary purpose, they have by no means been devoid of success. In fact, the advantages which science and geographical knowledge might be expected to derive from the discovery of the Pole, have been, in many respects, secured through the polar exploration which has been carried out in the effort to reach it. Like the farmer who rose early to get a sight of the white sparrow, and who thereby, although he never saw the white sparrow, gained knowledge for the guidance of his own affairs, every North Pole ex pedition, although unsuccessful in reaching its destination, has added to our knowledge of the conditions prevailing at the Pole. In fact it has now come to be recognised that the North Pole has, for science, no greater significance than any other point in the higher latitudes. We have, through scientific investigation and polar exploration, acquired so much information regarding the conditions applicable to the North Pole, as to have, to a great extent, anticipated detailed inspection, and this although no civilized man has ever yet reached that position, or, at any rate, ever returned to report his having done so.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Natural Phenomena is a collection of essays exploring various natural phenomena, including the turn of the day and its relation to the yearly changes in the power of the Sun. The author draws parallels between the daily and annual temperature oscillations, highlighting the time discrepancy between the Sun's maximum power and the highest temperature each day and year. They examine the modes of heat transference, focusing on the varying absorption rates of the atmosphere, sea, and land. The author discusses the role of terrestrial convection in warming the atmosphere and explores the temperature variations at different levels of the atmosphere, citing balloon ascents as evidence. They note the ambiguity of the terms "Summer" and "Winter" and conclude by emphasizing the significance of the subject matter for meteorology, as it helps us understand the complexities of weather patterns. 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: 9781334033759_0
