Description | Ferrar has received 'Meteorology, Part I' and 'Physical Work' from the Discovery Expedition. Ferrar notes that air-streams are discussed, and highlights a number of observations he made while on the expedition that he feels were not taken into account. In particular, he makes a distinction between the 'up-valley' and 'down-valley' motion of the wind. He also mentions that the effect that footsteps had on compressing the snow was not understood properly, and wishes to clarify portions of his 'nails driven into pond' experiment.
Ferrar postulates that his observations may be at the Royal Geographic Society, and offers to make a copy for Shaw.
Ferrar also inquires about a sum of money that may be waiting for him at the Meteorological Office. |
