The Hurricane Guide Being an Attempt to Connect the Rotary Gale or Revolving Storm with Atmospheric Waves.

"The Hurricane Guide" by William Radcliff Birt is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The book intends to explore the connection between rotating storms and atmospheric waves while providing invaluable observational instructions for sailors to avoid the centers of hurricanes. It is structured methodically to educate readers on the phenomena associated with storms and atmospheric conditions. At the start of "The Hurricane Guide," the author introduces his objective of illustrating how atmospheric waves relate to rotating storms. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these meteorological phenomena for sailors, offering practical guidance based on careful observations of barometric data. The opening chapters lay foundational concepts, outlining how changes in wind and atmospheric pressure can signal the approach of severe storms. The author aims to equip mariners with the knowledge necessary to navigate safely during turbulent weather conditions by carefully tracking these indicators.

William Radcliffe Birt FRAS was an English amateur astronomer in the 19th century. Birt was employed by John Herschel to carry out a great deal of meteorogical research on atmospheric waves, from 1839 to 1843. A lot of his work is held in the Scientist's Collection at the American Philosophical Society.
