The Law of Storms - The various phenomena by which their approach can be ascertained with certainty, and practical directions to mariners for the avoidance of their fury, compiled from various sources

In the Northern Hemisphere, when the Polar and Equatorial currents of air are alternating with each other, the regular shifting of the wind round the compass will be through S., S.W., W., N.W., N., N.E., E., S.E., S.and the changes will take place oftener between south and west, and between north and east, than between west and north, and between east and south. Similarly in the Southern Hemisphere, it may be inferred that when Polar currents of air alternate with Equatorial, the regular shifting of the wind round the compass will be successive through S., S.E., E., N.E., N., N.W., W., S.W., S. This is Doves Law of Gyration, (or the law of the rotation of winds). And collecting the main points into a few general propositions, it may be laid down, that all steady winds are modified by the rotation of the earth, in such a manner that Equatorial currents of air receive a westerly deflection, and Polar currents an easterly deflection; but latitudinal currents suffer no change. The N.E. and S.E. Trade Winds are steady Polar currents. The Monsoons are alternations of a Polar and an Equatorial current, twice during the year. Therefore they are N.E. and S.W. in the Northern Hemisphere, and S.E. and N.W. in the Southern Hemisphere. [4] ......Buy Now (To Read More)
