Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a classic treatise on hygrometry, the study of atmospheric moisture, written in the early 19th century. The author presents a novel instrument for measuring the constituent temperature of vapor (the dew point) with previously unattainable accuracy. This hygrometer, along with others, is meticulously explained and contextualized within the rapidly evolving scientific understandings of the day. The book's key focus is on revealing the intimate relationship between the humidity and temperature of the atmosphere. The author detailedly explains how to use the hygrometer to accurately forecast changes in the weather, leveraging a deep knowledge of atmospheric physics. This book's insights into the behavior of water vapor, and its impact on the atmosphere, remain highly relevant today, and continue to form the basis of modern meteorology.
