Sivu 78 - Corrections 1, 2, and 3 are constant for any one station and are combined in a single sum. (4) Correction for the temperature of the scale and mercurial column. The monthly mean pressures given in the summary are deduced from the corrected observations of pressure at...
Sivu 78 - Correction for scale errors, capillarity, etc. (2) Correction to standard gravity, comprising both latitude and altitude terms. (3) Correction for removal — a correction applied if any change has been made in the elevation of the barometer, to reduce the readings to the elevation adopted in 1900.

Precipitation: The rain gages used at the regular Weather Bureau stations have a circular catchment area of about 8 inches diameter, and the snow, hail, or sleet caught within them is melted and measured as water. The rain gage proper is set within an inclosing cylinder 8 in.
Sivu 78 - EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES. For a detailed account of the method of reducing the observed barometric pressures the reader is referred to the "Report on the barometry of the United States, Canada, and the West Indies," to be found in the Annual Report of the Chief of the Weather Bureau, 1900-1901, Volume II.
Sivu 44 - The following table contains the geographic coordinates of the several stations whose summaries are published in Part III, the adopted height of the barometer cistern above mean sea level and of other instruments above ground, the difference between local mean and seventyfifth meridian time, and the date on which observations began. The standard of time used by the Weather Bureau in all of its synchronous work is that of the seventy-fifth meridian (Eastern time), which standard is always understood...
