  <dc:description>Refers to Sabine’s recommendations to Lord Carnarvon. Discussion regarding ocean statistics, and ‘determination of the isothermals of the surface waters of the ocean’. Meldrum argues the importance of obtaining monthly means of the sea temperature, and pressure or temperature of the air, in order to ‘trace’ certain ‘laws’ related to the ‘mapping of the weather’. Reference to [William Charles] Redfield’s law of storms. Discussion regarding the discovery of daily weather.</dc:description>
