Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the use of kites and pilot balloons in aerological investigations. The author, a leading expert in the field, provides detailed instructions on everything from site selection and kite construction to data reduction and interpretation. Aerological investigations have become increasingly important in recent years, as scientists seek to better understand the characteristics of the free air and its relationship to surface conditions. This book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in this field, offering a wealth of practical knowledge and insights gained from the author's extensive experience. Through a combination of theory and practical advice, the book covers topics such as the principles of kite and balloon flight, the design and construction of kites and balloons, the methods and equipment used in obtaining upper air observations, and the reduction and interpretation of the results. The author also discusses the limitations of each method and offers guidance on how to obtain the most reliable data. Whether you are a seasoned aerologist or just starting out, this book is an invaluable resource that will help you to conduct successful and informative aerological investigations. 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.…

The value of free-air data is now universally recognized. Until a comparatively recent date these data were used very largely in studies whose purpose was to add to our knowledge of the characteristics of the free air in relation to latitude, topography, and different conditions of weather at the earth's surface. At some places monthly, seasonal, annual, and, to a less extent, diurnal values have been fairly well determined to considerable alti tudes, and some important conclusions as to the changes in free-air conditions accompanying marked changes in those at the surface have likewise been reached. In general, however, it can truthfully be said that aero logical investigations are still in what may be called the pioneer stage. Immense expansion of the work is necessary before our knowledge of free-air conditions is at all comparable to that of surface conditions. And even the latter is as yet far from complete, for most parts of the earth.
During the past few years the practical application of free-air data has come very decidedly to the front. For this the World War and the rapid development of avia tion are largely responsible. Average values, though constituting important information, are no longer suffi cient. It is now necessary to know the current condi tions. Densities are required in ballistics, and wind di rection and force in both ballistics and aviation. More over, free - air and surface conditions are so closely related that a study of the two, observed simultaneously and over widely distributed areas, can not fail to increase the accuracy of forecasts, not only of conditions in the higher strata, but of surface weather as well. It becomes there fore increasingly important that this work be developed as rapidly and as thoroughly as possible.
