CHEVALIER, Stanislas, S.J. (Director of the Zi-Ka-Wei Observatory, President of the S.M.S.). Essay on the Variations of the Atmospheric Pressure over Siberia and Eastern Asia, during the Months of January and February 1890 [Shanghai Meteorological Society.

Very rare, printed at the Zi-Ka-Wei missionary education centre in the Xuhui District, Shanghai. "The fourth Annual Report of the Shanghai Meteorological Society contains an interesting essay on the variations of the atmospheric pressure over Siberia and Eastern Asia during the months of January and February 1890, by the Rev. S. Chevalier, S.J., Director of the Zi-ka-wei Observatory, and President of the Society. The investigation was undertaken to elucidate some of the more doubtful points relating to winter storms in the Eastern seas, and for this purpose synoptic charts have been drawn twice daily for the period in question, showing the distribution of barometric pressure over Siberia and Eastern Asia, based chiefly upon the reports issued by the Russian, Chinese and Japanese services. The conclusions arrived at show that while some of the cyclonic storms may make a tour of the globe, most of them experience great difficulty in crossing Western Siberia, and are generally deflected towards the North Pole by the high pressure prevailing over Central Siberia. The depressions over Siberia, though far distant from the coasts of China, affect, at least indirectly, the weather of those parts; and the author finds that the winter storms of China are very generally preceded by the passage of extra-tropical cyclones. The violence of the gales not only depends upon the depth of the disturbance, but also upon the character of the high-pressure areas in the rear of the depression." (Nature, March 11 1897).
