About This Book

An annual report surveys recent debates and methods in meteorology, urging clearer technical definitions while comparing the convectional account of cyclones—unequal temperatures producing pressure differences, inflowing air, ascending gyratory motion, and latent-heat release—with alternative explanations that tie storm genesis to general atmospheric circulation. Views of Ferrel, Hann, and Russell are examined alongside advances in mapping atmospheric density by Ekholm and Abbe and a practical method proposed by James Allen that aids storm interpretation. Observational studies, including Berg's work on thunderstorm fronts, are used to illustrate relations among humidity, density, and storm movement.
