Antarctic Meteorology; Proceedings of the Symposium Held in Melbourne February 1959, held under the auspices of the Australian Academy of science with the endorsement of the special committee for the international geophysical year (CSAGI)
Various Authors
Pergamon Press London 1960 First Edition
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Dark Blue Cloth XVIII, 486 pages, last three pages blank, end page double page map, text illustrated with numerous tables, charts, diagrams, maps, and photographs. Previous owner's name are written in ink at the top right-hand corner of the front free end page. The decorated dust jacket has numerous small tears, chips, and foxing, and the edges of the folds have lost whatever crispness they once had. This book is a report on the proceedings of the symposium arranged by the Australian bureau of meteorology and included are copies of the papers presented and a summary of discussion. The symposium was arranged in sessions dealing with particular topics, but the nature of Antarctic meteorology, and in fact meteorology in general, is such that some degree of overlapping and subject from one session to another was inevitable, and indeed desirable. Much of the information in this report concerns meteorological topics which previously had been imperfectly understood. This was due mainly to the fact that before the IGY there had been no comprehensive coordinated program of meteorological observations for the Antarctic continent. "-- front fold over blurb.
