NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN, DECEMBER 1938
By WILLIS E. HURD
Atmospheric pressure.-Pressurek were almost continu-
ously low in the Aleutian region in December 1938, except
on the 23d to 25th, when a high-pressure area moved eastward across the islands, giving barometer readings
above 30 inches, first a t Dutch Harbor, then at Kodiak.
At Dutch Harbor and St. Paul the average pressures
were 29.21 and 29.27, respectively, or in bot,h instances more than 0.3 inch below the normals of the month. The avera e pressure rose sharply southward toward
30.20 inches, was 0.19 inch above the normal. Barom-
eter readings a t this station were as continuously high as
they were low a t the Aleutian stations.

westward to beyond Midway Island. Average pressures
were also high to the eastward of the China coast, including the Nansei and Ogasawara Islands, 30.10 to 30.06 inches. Pressures below 29 inches occurred in higher latitudes
of the Pacific, as shown on our charts, on 16 days in
December, thus attesting to tmhe depth of the several cyclones. The lowest corrected pressure reported by a
ship was 28.03, read on the Japanese motorship Hikawa Maru, near 47' N., 167' E., on the 23d. Nearly as low
pressures occurred among the Aleutians on the 11th
and 15th. Extratropical cyclones and gales.-For the North Pacific as a whole, December was the stormiest month to date of
the present winter-much stormier than November, and
having more sustained storminess than October, although October had tt considerably greater number of local gales of intensity higher than force 10. In December, as mdi-
cated by ships' reports now at hand, gales were experienced
of force as high as 11 on only 2 days, the 6th and the loth, to the eastward of the Kuril Islands. However, stormy
regions were of great width, as well as depth, on several
days, and winds.of whole gale force (10) were of fre uent
west of longitude 1i0' W., and north of latitude 30'.
Between about longitudes 130' and 160' W., gales were
few and scattered, bemg thus far reported on only 7 days, and for the most part not exceeding force 8. The compara-
tive freedom from severely stormy weather in this part of
the ocean was largely due to the considerable prevalence there of anticyclones.
Between longitude 130' W. and the coast of the United States gales were of greater importance. On the 2d
w-esterly winds of force 9 occurred a1ol;lg the Washington
and Oregon coasts. The maximum mnd velocity .of the month a t Tatoosh Island was a t the rate of 67 miles an
hour from the southwest, registered on the 2d a t the Weather Bureau office. On the 31st, durmg the preva-
lence of a cyclone in extreme northeastern waters, the
American Steamshlp Mama Ala, while off Cape Flatte had n southeaster1 gale of force 10. Off central and s o u x i
