Her Majesty’s Government having been pleased to consult the Royal Society on several occasions in the last few years regarding the proper steps to be taken by this country, under the sanction and authority of its Government, for the prosecution, in cooperation with the Governments of other States in Europe and America, of systematically conducted meteorological observations by Land and Sea, it may be desirable to offer to the Fellows a résumé of the correspondence, and of the suggestions which from time to time have been tendered on the part of the Society to the several departments of the State. The correspondence commenced by a communication from the Foreign Office in March 1852, transmitting, by direction of the Earl of Malmesbury, several documents received from foreign governments in reply to a proposition which had been made to them by Her Majesty’s Government, for their cooperation in establishing a uniform system of recording meteorological observations; and requesting the opinion of the President and Council of the Royal Society in reference to these documents, and more especially in reference to a communication from the Government of the United States of America respecting the manner in which the proposed cooperation might be carried out.

Daily Oscillation

When Mr. Lubbock undertook, last year, an examination of the Meteorological Observations made daily at the Royal Society, during the preceding four years, he found that no satisfactory result connected with the diurnal variation of the barometer could be obtained from them, in consequence of the stated hours of observation not recurring after sufficiently small intervals of time. From the interesting nature of the phenomena of the barometer, and from the circumstance of no observations for determining the amount and peculiarities of its horary oscillation having been made at the Royal Society, I proposed to undertake as extensive a series of hourly observations on this instrument as my official duties and the state of my health would permit;—to prosecute such experimental investigations into collateral branches of the inquiry, as the anomalies presenting themselves might require;—and to insti­tute, finally, a comparison between my own results and those derived from the labours of other observers, both in this country and on the Continent. In endeavouring to accomplish these objects, I have been anxious in the first instance to present to the Society a series of observations, made at equal intervals of time,—in sufficient number,—through an extended pe­riod,—and with instruments, whose peculiarities of excellence or defect are well known and understood; and which, being conducted with every care, may furnish preliminary data for explaining the anomalies of its hourly and daily oscillation; determining, if possible, the laws which regulate its perio­dical changes; and ascertaining the circumstances which accelerate or retard the operation of these laws: being guided, in the progress of the inquiries, by the strict inductive intimations only of the results themselves, and with­out reference to any particular theory or current hypothesis.

As much interest has been taken of late in the state of the barometer in high southern latitudes, the Expedition sent last year from the Cape of Good Hope to complete the magnetical observations made by Sir J ames C. Ross in those latitudes, was supplied with a barometer and other meteorological instruments, and directed to make meteorological as well as magnetical observations. I have now the honour of laying before the Royal Society the observations made during that Expedition. They were taken daily at the hours of 3 and 9 a.m., 3 and 9 p.m., noon, and midnight, by the officers of the ship during their respective watches. Nothing could exceed the zeal with which the officers entered into all the objects of the Expedition, and the attention and care they took in the observations they had to make.

The author had traced eleven distinct storms of wind passing over parts of Europe, between the 26th October and 18th December. With the view of ascertaining the state of the atmosphere during the progress of these storms, in respect of pressure, temperature, wind, cloud, and rain, he had collected observations from all parts of Great Britain and Ireland, as well as from many places on the Continent. He found that each storm was marked by concentric circles of equal atmospheric pressure.

Hydrometeorological Conditions

The paper analyzes hydrometeorological phenomena in the port of Chornomorsk. Changes in climatic conditions over the past 5 years have been identified. The most dangerous directions and speeds of winds, waves, which affect the operation of the port, have been determined. Analyzed the precipitation and the frequency of occurrence of various meteorological phenomena (thunderstorms, fogs, blizzards) in recent years. Conclusions were made on the unfavorable conditions of the port. Ensuring the safety of navigation during entry and exit from the port is one of the most pressing problems. Analysis of hydrometeorological conditions helps to reduce the number of accidents that occur due to ships grounding and bulkheads on the berth. Knowing the weather conditions in the port water area, you can ensure the safety of navigation. To compile a statistical analysis of the hydrometeorological characteristics in the port, a study of the logs of meteorological observations for every day over the past 10 years, as well as the cadastres of the seaports of Ukraine was carried out. The result of this analysis is the receipt of unfavorable factors that hinder the operation of the port in normal mode. It was also possible to establish the most unfavorable phenomena that limited the possibility of entering and leaving the port, as well as the months in which these phenomena are possible. Analysis of the parameters of the hydrometeorological situation allows us to conclude that the industrial activity of the port largely depends on the state of the weather and the sea. unfavorable meteorological phenomena reduce the efficiency of work and can pose a threat to the safety of their conduct. Various weather and sea phenomena affect port operations in different ways. The production activity of the port is largely dependent on the state of the weather and the sea, since unfavorable meteorological phenomena reduce the efficiency of work and can threaten the safety of their work. Various weather and sea phenomena affect port operations in different ways.
