NIKOLAYEVSK ON AMUR 



"At Nikolayevsk on Amur the height was given as 21.2 m up to 

 February 1920, when the observations ceased. They began again in 

 1925, and the height has since been given as 42.2 m. It is probable that 

 the station was discontinued and reestablished on a different site."- — ■ 

 Gilbert Walker. 



This station was moved several times, and its height at the different 

 epochs has not been definitely obtained.

 Hours of Observation. 



The observations were taken at 9 11 and I5 b , and the values given 

 are the means of the two except at Sydney, where the mean 

 is for 24 hours. The meridian to which the time refers is 

 not given except at Alice Springs, where the time is stated 

 to be local time and hence is presumably local time at the 

 other stations also. 

 Pressure. 



All values of the pressure have been corrected to normal gravity 

 at Lat. 45 . All values were corrected to Mean Sea Level 

 except at Alice Springs. 

 Temperature. 



The standard adopted was the mean between the daily maxima 

 and the daily minima.
