APPENDIX IV. 



401 



The velocity of the wind for the whole year is as follows, expressed 

 in metres per second. 



Even the most cursory comparison with the previous particulars of 

 the winds in Frams Havii and Havnef jord will show a great dissimilarity. 

 In the latter place, in particular, perfectly calm days preponderated, and 

 winds were the exception. Here the conditions were exactly reversed. 

 A complete record of the winds, such as has formed the base of the 

 summary given for 1900-1901, is wanting for these two years, but in 

 order to get somewhat better points of comparison, I have made similar 

 calculations for two months of each of these two years, choosing for the 

 purpose January and July as on the whole the most extreme. The 

 result of these calculations, which is given in the following table, shows 

 that a certain similarity exists between the conditions in Frams Havn 

 and Gaasef jord during the most pronounced winter month and the most 

 typical month of summer, while Havnefjord, as far as winds are 

 concerned, has very little in common with them.
