Proceedings Of The Canadian Institute Toronto 1884 Vol 1

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Canadian Institute, Toronto, 1884, Vol. 1: Being a Continuation of "the Canadian Journal, of Science, Literature and History" The application of an approximately correct reduction to baro metric readings, taken at various levels, in order to reduce them to what they would have been at one specified level, is absolutely necessary for their intercomparison. In the following paper several formulae which have been employed for this purpose are examined; and tables are appended by means of which, with very little calcu lotion, a suficiently correct reduction may be obtained, and which are, moreover, peculiarly adapted to the computation of tables of reduction for individual stations.
