Natural Phenomena (Classic Reprint): A Collection of Descriptive and Speculative Essays on Some of the by-Paths of Nature - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from Natural Phenomena
There are many respects, indeed, in which, outside the tropics, the solar changes relating to the day have a close analogy to the solar changes relating to the year. Daily, as well as yearly, we have the Sun mounting up wards in the heavens, reaching its greatest elevation, and slowly descending. We may compare the crossing of the meridian by the Sun, midway in its daily visible journey, to its reaching its highest point in the heavens at the summer solstice, midway between its crossing of the equator in its progress into our hemisphere, and its subsequent crossing of the equator on its return to the opposite hemisphere. In the day, as well as in the year, the power of the Sun gradually increases, reaches its maximum, and gradually declines.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Natural Phenomena is a collection of essays exploring various natural phenomena, including the turn of the day and its relation to the yearly changes in the power of the Sun. The author draws parallels between the daily and annual temperature oscillations, highlighting the time discrepancy between the Sun's maximum power and the highest temperature each day and year. They examine the modes of heat transference, focusing on the varying absorption rates of the atmosphere, sea, and land. The author discusses the role of terrestrial convection in warming the atmosphere and explores the temperature variations at different levels of the atmosphere, citing balloon ascents as evidence. They note the ambiguity of the terms "Summer" and "Winter" and conclude by emphasizing the significance of the subject matter for meteorology, as it helps us understand the complexities of weather patterns.
