Air Ministry: Meteorological Office The Observatories' Year Book, 1923: comprising the Results obtained from Autographic Records and Eye Observations at Lerwick, Aberdeen, Eskdalemuir, Cahirciveen (Valencia Observatory), Richmond (Kew Observatory), and Benson

Abstract

ONE of the important functions of the Meteorological Office is the maintenance and administration of the observatories at Lerwick, Aberdeen, Eskdalemuir, Valencia, Benson, and Kew, at which a considerable variety of geophysical work is done. The volume under review is the record of that work for 1923 and forms the second of a series which replaces certain sections of the well-known “British Meteorological and Magnetic Year Book.” The evident purpose of the new series is the collection in compact form of all the work done at each observatory.
