If this work is deemed to have merit it will be because for exactly a third of a century the author has had the privilege of access to what is probably the most complete meteorological library in the world, and of being a student of several of the able men who have constituted the scientific staff of the U. S. Weather Bureau, and because of his familiarity with the researches of Redfield, Espy, andF errel, and the works of A ngot, Hann, Davis, and Waldo. He has consulted with and received valuable aid from Prof. Cleveland Abbe in the preparation of the matter on Precipitation, Clouds, and Colors of theS ky; Prof. Frank H. Bigelow on the Circulation of the A tmosphere; Prof. Herbert H. Kimball on Thermometry and on Winds; Prof. Alfred J. Henry and Librarian C. Fitzhugh Talman on Climate; Prof. Henry J. Cox on Frost; and Prof. W. J. Humphreys on many technical points in the physics of the book. Special effort has been made to have the theory of meteorology lead up to the art of weather forecasting.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
