An up-to-date Table is provided of the monthly and seasonal means representative of the air over central England from 1659 onward, incorporating some minor revisions and extensions of the earlier Table (Manley 1953 and 1959). Comments on its construction, and on the prospect of further extension backward in time, are added.
area. Dr. L. H. N. Cooper, Marine Biological Association, in a letter to me on this paper, suggests that the factors affecting the temperature variation in these squares off the Norwegian coast are likely to include, in addition to the circulation of the atmosphere and wind-driven ocean currents, the effect of the compensation water drawn in from the Atlantic to compensate for cold water cascaded from the Siberian Shelf : we might expect this effect to decrease southwards from the region of northern Norway.

SUMMARYThe combination of geological and botanical evidence with meteorological reasoning leads to the conclusion that i n the ninth millenium B.C. s m a l l glaciers became re-established in corries and in the heads of the wetter Lake District valIeys, and also in a number of Pennine comes n o d of Bowland Forest. The meteorological factors giving rise to their distribution and comparative extent are discussed. It is inferred that the amount and distribution of precipitation during this episode resembled that of today. Quantitative estimates are given of the characteristics of the dimate during this post-Allerad recession, which from the meteorological standpoint appears to be similar to the minor recessions during the post-Glaaal period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
