Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of the Radiation of the Atmosphere: Based Upon Observations of the Nocturnal Radiation During Expeditions to Algeria and to California
The prosecution of the researches described in the following pages has been rendered possible by several grants from the Hodgkins Fund of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, for which I here desire to express my deep gratitude.
I also stand indebted to various gentlemen for friendly help and encouragement.
In the first place, I wish to express my sincere thanks to my esteemed friend, Dr. C. G. Abbot, Director of the Astrophysical Observatory of the Smithsonian Institution, for the great interest he has shown in my researches. His aid and suggestions have ever been a source of stimulation and encouragement, while his criticisms of my work have never failed to be of the greatest assistance to me.
