Mariner’s Pressure Atlas edited by David Burch Informed awareness of barometric pressure leads to safer and more efficient navigation. The primary goal of this publication is to make mariners more aware of barometric pressure and how it might add to the safety and efficiency of their time on the water and to provide a specific, dependable method of storm warning in the tropics. It is also intended to show the great value of an accurate barometer. The days of only caring about rise and fall, fast or slow, should be relegated to the history books. We now have ready access to accurate instruments and all the benefits they provide. … in short, we have worked our way back to the 1700s when mariner’s had the benefit of accurate mercury barometers for their weather analysis, and indeed learned much from them. The unique monthly data in this book along with an accurate barometer opens up new avenues of weather analysis underway. Format: Paperback # of pages: 62 Size: 8.25″ x 11″ Editor: David Burch
