Tables of atmospheric pressure during different winds, termed 'barometric
windroses', afford a deeper insight into the connection of meteorological
phenomena.*

Akad. der Wiss. zu Berlin aus den Jahren', 1818-1819, s. 187.
Dove has, with admirable sagacity, recognized, in the "law of rotation" in
both hemispheres, which he himself established, the cause of many important
processes in the aerial ocean.*
[footnote] *See Dove, 'Meteorologishe Untersuchungen', 1837, s. 99-313; and
the excellent observations of K??mtz on the descent of the west wind of the
upper current in high latitudes, and the general phenomena of the direction
of the wind, in his 'Vorlesungen uber ?µeterologie', 1840, s. 58-66,
196-200, 327-336, 353-364; and in Schumacher's 'Jahrbuch fur' 1838, s.
291-302. A very satisfactory and vivid representation of meteorological
phenomena is given by Dove, in his small work entitled
'Witterungsverh??ltnisse von Berlin', 1842. On the knowledge of the earlier
navigators of the rotation of the wind, see Churruca, 'Viage at Magellanes',
1793, p. 15; and on a remarkable expression of Columbus, which his son Don
Fernando Colon has presented to us in his 'Vida del Almirante', cap.
