In winter the whole coast of Norway has monsoon winds, blowing from the land 

 to the sea, they are N. and N. E. at Christiania, S. E. at Christiansund, Bossekop 

 and Hammerfest, and S. W. at Vardoe. In summer the conditions are reversed. 



This was shown some years ago by the best authority in these matters. Prof. H. 

 Mohn.^ He is of the opinion that the winds are deflected about 90° to the right 

 of the direction they would have if they blew directly from the land in winter and 

 from the sea in summer. 



It must, however, be observed that in this result the number of observations alone 

 is taken into account. The storms on the Atlantic coast of Norway are very 

 violent, and the winds during their prevalence mostly S. and W. A south wind 

 should prevail in Norway, taking into account the strength of winds and aside 

 from local influences. 



The high station of Dovre, in the interior, has largely prevailing S. winds. In 

 this we see the influence of the high pressure to the S. and in the interior of the 

 continent and of low pressure on the ocean to the W. and N. (See Plates 9 and 14.) 



In northern Norway the winds are variable in summer and decidedly from the 

 S. in the winter. In the latter season the general distribution of pressure in the
