 Pressure. 



The pressure means are the means of the values published in the 

 Daily Weather Report. All means refer to 7" and have been 

 reduced to Mean Sea Level, 32 F. and Lat. 45 °. 

 Temperature. 



The data are derived from hourly tabulations of the records of 

 the photographic thermograph. The thermometer bulbs are 

 exposed in a north-wall screen and are 1.3 m above ground. 

 Precipitation. 



The totals are derived from the records of the Beckley rain gage. 

 This and the 8-in. check gage are in a railed-off enclosure 

 about 40 m to the north of the Observatory buildings. 

 The area of the Beckley gage funnel is 102.3 sq. in. The ground 

 on which the gages stand slopes generally downwards 

 toward the west-northwest at an inclination of about 1 in 20.
