Wind statistics and aëronautics

ABSTRACT THE practical interest shown in Germany in the navigation of the air is widespread, and goes hand in hand with a determination to utilise all auxiliaries that promise to advance the


subject. Among such auxiliaries must be included the observations of wind which form part of the stock in trade of the meteorologist. The “Motorluftschiff-Studiengesellschaft” of Berlin,


founded in 1907 at the instance of the German Emperor, has accordingly requested Prof. Assmann, the director of the Aëronautical Meteorological Observatory at Lindenberg, to undertake a


detailed analysis of the wind data available for the German Empire. The society has provided a large part of the funds required for the work. The results have now been publishedrj. They give


average values, generally for the twenty years 1886–1905, for forty-nine stations. The original schedules were prepared in the various offices which are responsible for the meteorological


work of the component States of the Empire. The final discussion was undertaken at Lindenberg under the direction of Prof. Assmann. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
