Excerpt from Vertical Gradients of Temperature, Humidity, and Wind Direction: A Preliminary Report on the Kite Observations of 1898
The temperature conditions at all elevations and under varying conditions of weather and time have been computed in terms of the gradient in degrees Fahrenheit for each 1 000 feet, and in the increase of elevation necessary to cause a fall of 1 degree in the temperature. The mean results, however, are given only in degrees per thousand feet.
Some attention has also been given to the questions of wind directions, relative humidity, and vapor pressure.
The tables and plates accompanying will, it is believed, furnish all the tabular matter that may be desired.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's preliminary report on kite observations for the year 1898. As part of a larger project, the author was tasked with organizing a corps of observers to participate in a study of vertical temperature, humidity, and wind direction using kites. Using readily available materials, the author designed and constructed the kites and related apparatus to be used in this project. The author also developed a method for accurately measuring the elevation of the kite. Beginning in May 1898, over 400 kite ascensions were performed, with a focus on observing weather conditions at elevations of 1,500 feet or more. The author carefully examined the data and discovered a consistent rate of temperature decrease with increasing altitude, as well as a steady decrease in the rate of temperature decrease with increasing altitude. The author also observed a number of inversions, or instances where the temperature increased with altitude, and found these inversions were more common at lower altitudes and with certain wind directions. The author's humidity data showed that the relative humidity was generally lower at higher altitudes, with cloud cover often leading to an increase in humidity. The author acknowledges that this study is only a preliminary report, but the data collected provides valuable insights into the atmospheric conditions of the lower levels of the air. This information can be used to improve weather forecasting and our understanding of atmospheric dynamics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
