Print on Demand. This book is a detailed exploration of meteorological observations taken at Cape Evans, Antarctica, during the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-1913 led by Robert Falcon Scott. The author has not only presented the raw data but also carefully analyzed it to gain insights into weather conditions in this inhospitable region. The book is a trove of information, with data gathered from Cape Evans and other locations on the Antarctic Peninsula, as well as other similar expeditions of the time. Delving into the book's contents, readers will find hourly observations covering temperature, wind direction, and velocity, with further analysis of means, daily and seasonal variations, and frequency distributions. The author also presents data on atmospheric electricity and cloud observations. These detailed observations provide valuable context for understanding the environmental conditions experienced by the expedition in Antarctica. At the time of its publication, the book was a major contribution to polar meteorology. Today, it remains a valuable source of data for researchers in the field. The author's meticulous analysis of the data provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of weather patterns in Antarctica and contributes to our knowledge of the region's climatic history. 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.…

When we heard that Amundsen was in the Antarctic, and in consequence the small party under Lieutenant Campbell which Scott had sent to work near King Edward VII Land had to go to Cape Adare instead, we all considered it a minor disaster. But for the meteorological work this was an advantage which it is impossible to over-estimate, in fact, it led to a distribution of stations unique in the history of polar exploration and one which could not have been attained by any possible amount of forethought. With these stations working for nearly twelve months simultaneously at the three corners of a triangle embracing the Ross Sea and each station about 400 miles from its nearest neighbour, the records from each station became of highly enhanced value and problems could be investigated and solved which would have remained unknown after a hundred years of observation at one station alone.
Not only in the distribution of stations were we lucky, but also in the character of the observations taken. At F ramheim the meteorological work of Captain Amundsen's party was not extensive but very reliable, especially the observations of pressure, temperature and wind. It was at Cape Adare, however, that the most remarkable meteorological work was performed. The party was small, consisting only of three officers and three men, but Mr. Priestley organised and carried through a set of meteorologi cal observations and records which is a model for future expeditions. It is necessary to handle the original records to realise to the full the pains expended on this work, for all records were in duplicate, clean fair copies of all note books and diaries being provided. I cannot be too grateful to the men of this party, to Priestley, Browning and Dickason in particular, and I am sure that anyone who has occasion to study the meteorology of Cape Adare will share my gratitude for the remarkable meteorological diary printed in full on pp. 470 - 551 of this volume.
