THE THEORY OF STORMS TOLD
IN POPULAR LANGUAGE.
How They Originate. Progress and
Puss Away—Tempest: Which
' Travel Round the Globe
-—Thnnder Storms.
Sergeant E. B. Dnnn.the Signal Service
Olliccr in charge of the station on the
Equitable Building. thus explained the
theory of storms the other day:
“Storms are caused.“ he said, “first by
the. meeting and commingling of inequal
:itiiios ilieric temperatures or pressures;
sccom . by the rotation of the earth, and,
thirdly. by unequal specific gravity of
dim-rent layers of air. The first of these
‘aiiscs is the prime one; the other two
are but of secondary and comparatively
slight importance in the generation of a'
storm. ,
"lt is u well-known fact that warm air
rises. It is equally well known that the
earth becomes heated by the sun‘s rays
falling upon it.iiud by the absorption and
radiation of this stored up heat renders
the tcnipi- ature higher at. the surface
than at elevated points. For a time this
hot air on the surface is kept down by
atmospheric pressure. but there comes a
time when the ex iansion becomes so
great as to brciikt rough the cold air
pressure and the hot air goes up with a i
rush, rising sometimes to great height. l
As this warm air rises. it creates a vacu.
um below. and the cooler air rushes in
- from all sides to till its place. This cool
i iir. as it gets gradually lieattd. also
rises. and more cool air ruslicq in to again
till the vacuum. Right at this point where
' the hot air first rises is flit‘ center of a
storm. The vacuum caused by' the us-
i fraudulent coffee
tending hot air sucks into its votex the
air from every point of llxt‘ compass. and l
this suction causes wind. but iliiccs uf- l
iccted by ii storm thus formed. it will be ‘
seen. will have the wind from ditl'ercnt .
points of the. compass. according to their -
direction from the storm center. Thus.
, i locality directly south of a storm cen~
ler will have the wind from the south. as
at rushes north. When this warm air has
Accumulated at a Slllllt iently high alti-
tude. and becomes surrounded by cooler
tir the moisture in it begins to condense,
forming rain.
“The rushing in of the cool air to till
the vacuum caused by the rising hot air
gives motion to the accumulation of
harm air. and it lit‘glll.\ to whirl about in
l circle. but at the centre all is calm and
clear. Thus it is that sometimes we cx~
perience ‘a lull 'u the storm.‘ as it is
called. Such a brief respite is nothing
run: than the passing of a storm ccntrc
irectly overhead. through which the
sun even may shine unobstructedly.
' “As this storm keeps whirling about
overhead it cominucs to gather energy.
and grows by the accession of more
heated air, exactly as a snowball is in-;
creased in diameter by rolling it in the l
snow. At last the accumulation becomes i
of such proportions as to feel the. etlccts .
of the earth‘s rotation. and it begins to ‘
move. This rotation of the rank, being
from West to East. gives all the storms ;
of any extent the same gem-rail direction. 5
Such general direction. however. from i
West to Vilast. is liable to deflections l
from various causes, such as mountains. l
conditions of the atxiimphere. by coming .
in contact with othcnsturnis or air cur-
rents. and by large areas of water. 5

“Nine out of ten American storms,

the. Northwest. where the warm

with the cool air from the great clcv

deluging us with this water from the

from this country to the Atlaiitic.tlirmigh
the St. Lawrence valley. “'itliin recent
years these American storms have been
ictually traced across the Atlantic to
Europe, and some of them even as far its 3
(Asia.
“All storms originate in the same way, ‘
whether on hind or at sea; in summer oi
in winter. The undercurrent of air which '
' rises need not necessarily be warm to?
make it rise; as. for instance. where the L
temperature is below the freezing point;
but the under current must beat a higher _
temperature than that above. and sun;
rounding it to force it to rise. In other .
words. a storm is originated by a com‘ 5
mingling of unequal atmospheric tcmvi

perutures.
“Cyclones arise at sea. and though
generated just as land storms are. revolve
with much greater rs iidity and cover
much smaller areas. hey travel in a
terpentine course. and in no one general
direction. with the. greatest force of wind
it the centre of the storm.
“A tornado is a tower or spiral storm,
which travels in a band across the. coun-
try. It ditl'crs from a cyclone principally i
in that ’one of its characteristics is to.
suck. or draw up anything movable over ‘
which it mason. and this confines its de~
structive operations to a very limited
area, while ii cyclone scatters destruction
broadcast. A hurricane is the same thing
as a tornado.
“The difference between a high and ti
low barometer storm is that aim ii liigb
barometer the wind is thrown 011' from
the circumference of the storm ceutn
with no rain. while witlui low barometer
storm the winds are sucked or drawn in
to the teams from every point of the
compass. and rain falls.
“Thunder storms are formed in the
same manneras other storms only they
are entirely local in their nature. The
thunder storms that. we experience in
l
the city coming in contact with the cool ‘
air from the Orange mountains. and thus 3
it is we see most. of them approach the}
city from the north and west. There are ’
data at band to lend weight to the theory
that storms which land upon our Pacific
coast have traveled all around the globe.
