Extract

The vertical movements of the earth's atmosphere from which the energy is derived which causes the horizontal movements of the air which we call winds, and by means of which the moisture evaporated from the surface of land and water is collected and carried to the higher regions of the atmosphere, where it is condensed to cloud and again distributed in the form of rain over the earth's surface, are of great interest, and a thorough knowledge of the laws governing these vertical movements is necessary to enable us to arrive at a correct forecast of the coming weather over any area.
