In-Depth Information
It is noteworthy that by graphically indicating prevalent storm tracks and wind
directions on his charts, Harmer presented a more dynamic approach to the
reconstruction of past circulation patterns than those later made by Lamb. As in
geology, these charts demonstrate Harmer's skill in map-making (Figs.
4.1
,
4.2
,
4.3
and
4.4
).
