Abstract
IN a recent communication in Nature1, McPetrie and Starnecki have directed attention to the presence of atmospheric ducts at or close to the sea surface. The presence of low atmospheric ducts when the air at 100 ft. above sea-level was colder than the sea was found difficult to explain, and it was noted that such ducts were frequently associated with high wind speeds.
