Practical Exercises in Elementary Meteorology

Practical Exercises in Elementary Meteorology, written by Robert DeCourcy Ward in the late 19th century, is a laboratory manual designed for students to conduct observational and practical studies in meteorology. The book emphasizes the importance of meteorology in understanding daily weather changes and its effects on human activities such as farming and transportation. It provides a structured approach to non-instrumental observations, including temperature, wind direction, and precipitation, aiming to establish a foundational understanding of atmospheric phenomena for further studies.
