Book Overview

""Rainfall and Evaporation in St. Helena"" is a scientific book written by John Haughton in 1862. The book explores the climate and weather patterns of the small island of St. Helena, located in the South Atlantic Ocean. Haughton, a renowned Irish geologist and mathematician, conducted extensive research on the island's rainfall and evaporation rates, using data collected over several years. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of the island's climate, including the influence of ocean currents, the effects of altitude on rainfall, and the impact of winds on evaporation. The book is written in a highly technical and scientific style, and includes numerous charts, graphs, and tables to support Haughton's findings. Overall, ""Rainfall and Evaporation in St. Helena"" is an important contribution to the field of meteorology and climatology, and remains a valuable resource for scientists and researchers studying weather patterns in the South Atlantic region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
