Upper-air Temperatures and Humidities in Eastern Asia

[摘要] The places the data of which were analysed are Peking, Nanking, Hong-Kong, Manila, Batavia and Melbourne. Information regarding the sources of data is set out in the foot notes. In figs. 1-3 are shown the monthly and annual normals of temperatures at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4km. above sealevel over Eastern Asia. In figs. 4-5 are shown the sketches of monthly and annual normal temperature distribution in the atmosphere of Eastern Asia. The contrast in mixing ratio is more vivid than the contrast in upper-air temperature. In northern summer, mixing ratio is highest at all levels in Hong-Kong and Nang-king and this is caused by the summer monsoon which is hot and humid.
