Dewey appends the following note to the observations at this place: "The country around this station is a rolling level, with no local obstructions which might influence the direction of the winds. Lake Ontario is five miles to the north, and there are slight hills to the south which have no influence upon the winds. The surface winds are observed to differ from the upper currents. From 1836 till about 1844 the indications of the wind vane were recorded, but subsequently the direction as shown by clouds. This difference has been ascribed to the fact that the waters of Lake Ontario acquire and retain till late the summer's heat, and thus give a tendency of the surface current of air towards them." |
