Abstract
THERE has lately been introduced on the Daily Weather Report a small map showing barometric tendency. The barometric change from 4h. to 7h. is given as “a multiple of the half-millibar, that unit having been found convenient for reading the baro-grams and adopted for telegraphic reporting” (Meteor. Mag., August, 1920, p. 150).
