The 1854 tabular summary includes columns for mean reading of the barometer, mean elastic force of vapour, temperature of the air, mean temperature, mean weight of water and mean additional weight ot saturation, mean degree of humidy, mean weight of a cubic foot of air, wind direction and force, rainfall, and mean amount of cloud [not completed].
The 1858 table has columns for corrected barometer, mean temperatures of air and evaporation at 9.30am and 3.30pm; the same for dew point computed by Glaisher's tables, Apjohn tables, and observed by Daniell's hygrometer and Regnault's hygrometer; means for elasticity and humidity of vapour, with weights; wind pressure and cloud cover; maximum temperature in the Sun and mimimum on grass; temperature of air, temperature of evaporation, maximum pressure of wind, and rainfall.
The 1854 summary sheet is anonymous. The 1858 results are credited: 'Deduced at the Meteorological observatory Bombay [Mumbai] by Govind Ramchundra and Hurry Chintamun'. and signed by E.F.T. Fergusson, Superintendent of the Government Observatory. Both sheets have typed paper labels verso. |
