CLIMATOLOGY.
In previous bulletins the effects of
magnetic north poles on our climate
we're, discussed, and now let us look
to the south and see if anything there
has an important bearing on tina eli.
mate of North America.
Over the Atlantic ocean north OF
the equator is located n Of the
earth's principal respiratory organs
through which it inhales the ether OF
space. and this ether brings down the
pure air from our upper atmosphere
causing it to spread out over land and
sea.
This north Atlantic high has a reg
ular pendulum.like swing east and
west, now causing a drouth in Europe
as it swings eastward, and then Q
drouth in America when on its west.
ward swing.
When the sun is north of the
earth's equator iu July, the barometer
registers about an average of 300 {
on our southeastern coast and 10 Jan,
uary when the sun is south, about
3O.l5. These are about the general
averages, and when the north Allan.
tic high swings west, causing drouth,
the monthly barometric averages are
higher.
TIE center Of this north Atlantic
high is west of the Azore islands and
the water and air currents circulate
around that center go as to cause the
wind to blow westward south of the
center, northward along our Atlantic
coast, eastward between Newfound.
land and northern Europe, and south.
ward on the central European Allan
tic coast.
These winds are called the trade
winds because when sailing vessels
we're used exclusively they came west
by the southern route iu order to get
the west winds and returned to Eu.
rope by the northern route, thereby
catching the cast bound breezes.
This north Atlantic high has q
complete system Of storms that is of
vast Importance to the United States,
southern Europe, northern Africa,
