Book Description
Excerpt from The Structure of the Atmosphere in Clear Weather: A Study of Soundings, With Pilot Balloons The investigations of the wind currents of the air above the surface layers is one of the greatest importance in the study of meteorology; one reason for the slow advance made by this science in the last fifty years is to be found in the fact that until quite recently meteorologists only took note of that part of the atmosphere that was close to the surface of the earth, and beyond some cloud observations and a few isolated records, such as those obtained by Glaisher, nothing was known of the conditions existing in the free air. The recent rise of aviation and its probable extension in the near future make it more than ever necessary to investigate the nature of the currents in the free air above the surface of the earth. During the last few years the conditions of temperature, humidity, and wind have been investigated by means of kites carrying self-recording instruments to very considerable heights. Free balloons carrying lighter instruments have continued these records to still higher regions, heights of 25 kilometres and more having been reached. The motion of such a balloon if accurately observed gives a record of the wind currents traversed by it in its ascent through the atmosphere. Such records may also be obtained by small balloons that carry no instrument when they are followed by means of a theodolite during their ascent. The following pages give some account of the investigation of the upper air by means of such observations, some of the records having been obtained from balloons carrying instruments and others from small free balloons carrying nothing beyond a stamped label to be posted if the burst balloon should be found after it reaches the earth. An account is given in the first chapter of the general types of structure disclosed by the observations, and figures are given of models prepared to show the sequence of wind velocities and directions met with during the ascents on occasions when the different types of structure were found. An account follows of the methods of observing the balloons and of the theodolites employed for this purpose, together with an account of how the observations are worked up to give the horizontal trajectory of the balloon, and the method of measuring the wind velocity and direction at different heights from the trajectory.
