About this book
Charles Fitzhugh Talman wrote this volume on the science of the atmosphere. The text describes the sounding balloon as a small free balloon that carries no human aeronaut, but instead a set of superhuman meteorological instruments. The text says the stratosphere contains no clouds (except occasional dust clouds).
A discussion of climate says that the weather of any place is subject to incessant changes, while its climate persists, though there is no need to assume that it persists indefinitely. The text says deposits of coal found in Antarctica and Spitzbergen are the débris of ancient forests such as could not exist in the climates now prevailing in those regions. The text says brontides are rather common in certain parts of the world and are called mistpoeffers on the Belgian coast and Barisal guns in the Ganges delta, among other names.
