Extract

The temperature of water can be ascertained much more easily than that of air, and with far greater accuracy; yet comparatively little has been done by meteorologists in the way of obtaining data bearing on the distribution of temperature in rivers and in estuaries. Some observations of great value have been discussed by Mr Buchan in the Scottish Meteorological Society's Journal, but these were discontinued after a few years.
