Excerpt from Tables, Distribution, and Variations of the Atmospheric Temperature of the United States, and Some Adjacent Parts of America: Collected by the Smithsonian Institution
Respecting the corrections necessary to refer monthly and annual means depend ing on observations at certain hours to what they would have been had the observa tions been made hourly and continued day and night, the reader is referred to the discussion of the daily variation of the temperature. In this discussion it is shown that the mean of hourly observations represents the average temperature of the day within about Fah.
The following table of' corrections for daily variation to means resulting from observations at certain hours was prepared directly from observations extending over a series of years at Toronto, Mohawk, New Haven, and Philadelphia; it is inserted here on account of its frequent application to our tabular results, either to refer them to the mean of the day or to a uniform set of hours, in which latter case the table can be made readily to apply. This table of corrections was found to answer well enough for the Eastern and Western States lying within the range of latitudes of the four stations; for Southern States and for the elevated western portion of the United States other less reliable corrections had to be supplied.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a substantial contribution to the study of atmospheric temperature covering the United States and some adjacent parts of America. It contains the results of all observations to the end of the year 1870 from various sources. The author has endeavoured to present his results in a precise form and in a manner comparable among themselves, with mean or normal values or the so-called constants of temperature. The statistical information is followed by an extended discussion of the daily and annual temperature variations, their differences with seasons and for longer periods of years, and the generalization of the results either in analytical or graphical form. The author's insights on the subject shall be valuable to meteorologists as they continue to study climate patterns and changes over time.
