Abstract
THE present volume is the ninth of the series, the work now being completed for each year from 1910 to 1918. All the information refers to land stations; it has not yet been practicable to give data over the sea. The total number of stations utilised is 449, which is 9 fewer than in 1917. Stations are easily identified by a systematic numbering, maintained year after year. The majority of the stations for which information is given are under the control of government meteorological services. Wherever possible, the departures from normal of the monthly and annual values of mean pressure, mean temperature, and precipitation are given. Wind data are given for selected stations in the tropics; and there are notes on the state of the ice in the Arctic Seas and in the North Atlantic Ocean.
