✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The topography of the Dead Sea is described and it is shown how the difference in depth and area between the northern and southern basins is reflected in the thermal relations with the surrounding land and in variations of the sea breeze, resulting in a morning maximum and midday minimum temperature. An account is given of the effect of the sea breeze from the Mediterranean, which reaches the Jordan valley in the afternoon as a hot, dry wind, and produces a second maximum temperature. Examples are quoted of the extent in different directions of the influence of the sea breeze from the Dead Sea; and its effect on Khamseen days, when the afternoon temperature maximum disappears, is discussed. Data are given in tables of wind direction and velocity, with autographic records of temperature and humidity, and brief particulars of the amount of precipitation are included.

## Abstract Surface air temperatures (SAT) from three Alaskan weather stations in a north–south section (Barrow, Nome, and St. Paul) show that on a decadal scale, the correlation among the stations changed during the past century. Before the 1960s, Barrow and Nome were dominated by Arctic air masse
