This book fills a significant gap in the climatological literature, providing a comprehensive assessment of the climates of the southern hemisphere. It is the first book of its type to provide a consolidated view of the climates of southern Africa, Australia, South America and Antarctica, addressing past and future climates as well as those of the present. Present climates are considered in the first part of the book, to provide a background against which past and future climates can be investigated. Emphasis in the book is on the inter-relatedness of global, synoptic and smaller scale aspects of southern hemisphere continental climates. Discussion of topical, but fundamental, concerns including El Niño, global warming and climate variability is incorporated throughout the text. The study of the climatology of the southern hemisphere is fundamental to our understanding of climates and climatic issues across the globe. The book will therefore be of particular interest to scientists interested in climate with a focus beyond the southern hemisphere, as well as those with a specialised interest in all or part of the southern hemisphere. It is also a significant addition to the literature for climate researchers as well as for undergraduate students studying climatology in the atmospheric, environmental and earth sciences.

Originally published in 1911, this book provides a detailed guide to African climate conditions. Intended to be a practical introduction, rather than a meteorological treatise, the text is notable for its use of clear language and a broad variety of statistical information. It contains four main sections, covering North Africa, Western Tropical Africa, Eastern Tropical Africa, and South Africa. Each section contains illustrative material, including tables, charts and maps. This is a highly organised and informative volume that will be of value to anyone with an interest in African geography and the development of physical geography in general.

Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...to the warm moist winds. Proximity to the sea and the shelter of the Yaila Mountains combine to give the south of the Crimea, the Eussian Eiviera, its mild winters. At Yalta the mean January temperature is 38, and the lowest reading on record 9; at Ekaterinoslav, 280 miles north, fully exposed to the cold north-east winds that sweep over the steppes, the corresponding figures are 19 and--31. Even Yalta is considerably colder than the north coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, which, however, are in slightly lower latitudes. The coast of the Black Sea at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains is another climatic oasis, thanks to the mountain shelter, a shelter which is said to be effective even on the south coast of the Black Sea. When, however, a deep depression lies over the eastern part of the sea, the lower eastern end of the Caucasus is unable to keep back the inflow from the north-east, which sweeps down as the dreaded Bora, an exceedingly strong, cold, dry wind from the steppes, known especially in the neighbourhood of Novorossiisk. The isotherms curve northward over the south of the Caspian Sea, the northern part of which, however, being frozen, has little or no modifying influence. The Arctic Ocean warms the north of Siberia somewhat, but its frozen surface is not so effective a source of heat as the open Pacific, on the shores of which the isotherms are closely crowded. The most striking effect is provided by Lake Baikal in December (Fig. 65) when the water is freezing but not yet frozen over; the course of the isotherms shows the combined effect of the open water and of the liberation of latent heat during freezing; there is much fog on the shores of the lake at this time. In the second half of the winter the lake is completely...

Despite the great quantity of climatological literature, there are few books describing climates from the geographical point of view. The present volume is an attempt to fill this gap. The first part discusses the principal processes and factors shaping and differentiating climatic conditions, the distribution of climatic elements and the regionalisation of climates. The second and main part examines the climates of the continents and oceans, the continents being treated in considerable detail and the oceans more generally. Each section begins with a climatic review of the whole continent, followed by a detailed discussion of the climatic conditions of large countries or groups of smaller ones. Subsections discuss such factors as length of daylight, solar radiation, air pressure systems and winds, tempatures, humidity cloudiness, and precipitation experienced by regions. This volume serves as a useful guide for geographers and environmental scientists, climatologists, and the many nonprofessionals interested in the world and its climates.

This book presents extensive and new information on the geomorphology of cratonic areas of southern South America. It includes valuable data relating to recurrent controversies in general geomorphology beyond the boundaries of South America and reveals the great need to integrate many different aspects of geomorphology in regional studies. With the focus on ancient landscapes and especially on planation surfaces it addresses the question of what processes could form such huge features, and how they can be preserved for so long. Many of the papers include maps of planation surfaces or other geomorphic units. The volume brings together an up-to-date, state-of-the-art collection of information on South American geomorphology, and shows beyond doubt that geomorphology is on the same time scale as global tectonics, biological evolution and major climate change. Some of the papers describe ancient geomorphological features of areas that have never been studied or published before, while others describe regions which are totally unknown to the public. The scope of the book extends from tropical latitudes north of the Tropic of Capricorn, south to freezing Patagonia in the “roaring fifties”, more than 3,500 km from north to south. Including over one thousand citations from geological and geomorphological literature, this volume will serve as a starting point for a whole new phase of studies of the fascinating landscape history of southern South America.
