Extract

In this paper it is not proposed to discuss in their relations to storms the effects of rain, of the earth's rotation, of areas of high and low pressure external to the storm-area, and of the prevailing westerly winds, which are doubtless occasional factors in the progressive movement of storms. What it is intended to show here is that storms possess in themselves a self-motive power, by which their onward movement over the earth's surface is determined.
