The Climate of the Midnineteenth Century United States Compared to the Current Normals
نویسنده
چکیده
Climatic data for the Continental United States for the 1850’s and 1860’s are compared with the currently valid normals. In the eastern half of the United States, these two decades continue the cooler and somewhat wetter character found in an earlier investigation, while in the western half, a distinctly warmer and decisively wetter climate existed in the mid-19th century, as compared to the conditions in the first half of the 20th century.
