第85页 - ... might be found any course of wind, from the rotative to the rectilinear, together with varying conditions as regards clouds and rain. But I have never been able to conceive, that the wind in violent storms moves only in circles. On the contrary, a vortical movement, approaching to that which may be seen in all lesser vortices, aerial or aqueous, appears to be an essential element of their violent and long continued action, of their increased energy towards the center or axis, and of the accompanying...

第249页 - Those small winds veer from the common Trade of that time of the year, which is here at SW and shuffles about to the N. and NE Before the Storm comes there appears a boding Cloud in the NE which is very black near the Horizon, but towards the upper edge, it looks of a dark copper colour, and higher still it is brighter, and afterwards it fades to a whitish glaring colour, at the very edge of the Cloud. This Cloud appears very amazing and ghastly, and is sometimes seen 12 hours before the Storm comes.
第164页 - SE, and continued increasing with accumulated violence until four in the afternoon, when it veered to the sovth, and became a perfect tempest, which lasted in force until near eight; it then abated. The sea during the last period exhibited a most awful scene; the waves swelled to an amazing height, rushed with an impetuosity not to be described on the land, and in a few minutes determined the fate of all the houses in the Bay.
第85页 - The degree of vorticular inclination in violent storms must be subject, locally, to great variations ; but it is not probable that on an average of the different sides, it ever comes near to forty-five degrees from the tangent of a circle, and that such average inclination ever exceeds two points of the compass, may well be doubted.
第146页 - November 1836, when the velocity of the wind was estimated at about 100 feet per second, the sea at Plymouth was raised three feet six and a half inches above the mean level, the greatest height above the equilibrium level he has seen. The hurricane began at SW, and the barometer was very low ; therefore this great increase in height is due both to the wind and diminished atmospheric pressure. A gale of wind from the southward, a low barometer, and a high spring-tide concurring, cause damage and...
