Compares weather observations impacted by topography in a specific location, indicating significant variations in atmospheric conditions.
A comparison is made between the anemograph records, observations of upper winds, and cloud movement, and cloud distribution. Deductions are made regarding the relationship between the observed wind and that which would prevail if the mountainous mass of the island were absent. Use is made of the reports from Kerguelen so that an appreciation is obtained of the synoptic situation at the time. Fluctuations of surface temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure are shown to be related to the effect of topography on the air stream before it reaches the observing site.
