Paperback. Condizione: 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.
