I" HE mean annual temperature
OF place on the earth's SUR
face Is determined by taking
the average OF the mean monthly
temperatures observed at the same
place, and these In turn ere deter
mined from the average Of the
mean daily temperatures ct the
same place.
The averages are arrived at by
adding the thermometric figures
in degrees for all Of the successive
observations: daily monthly or
yearly, as the case may be, and di-
viding by the number OF cbserva-
tions. The daily average gives the
basis for the monthly, and the
monthly for the yearly. Then sue
cessive years may be averaged.
The means thus obtained for the
annual march OF temperature FUR
h nish the basis for drawing charts
of the ''isothermal lines, /. .. lines
OF equal temperature. which show
at q glance what places have the
same average temperature taking
the year around.
But the fact that certain places,
more or less widely separated in
longitude and also in latitude, lie on
the same ''isotherm" does not neces-
sarily indicate a close resemblance
in climate between such places.
Some may have q mountain eli
mate, some mid-continental cli-
mate, and some q seashore or
marine climate.

Thus, the mean annual tenn
perature of San Francisco and
