Her captain, Robert FitzRoy, blamed himself for this near calamity, having not taken enough notice of the falling barometer. He never forgot this incident and became a firm believer in the value of the barometer. In this book, Philip Collins links Robert FitzRoy's early learnt weather knowledge to his appointment in 1854 as chief of the newly formed Meteorological Office. He investigates the first barometers that FitzRoy issued and those he helped to design in order to begin weather forecasting in Britain and protect lives around the coast. He also describes, through numerous illustrations, the domestic barometer that acquired a legendary association with the name of Admiral FitzRoy, and gives advice for anyone wishing to acquire a 'FitzRoy' barometer., 278044, Meteorology, 278028, Earth Sciences & Geography, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books, 278115, Engineering & Technology, 278267, Aeronautics & Aerospace, 278271, Automotive, 278116, Bioengineering, 922268, Chemical, 278122, Civil Engineering, 922364, Education, 278150, Electrical, 278141, Electronics & Communications Engineering, 278180, Energy Technology, 922390, Engineering Physics, 922280, Engineering Skills & Design, 759164, Engineers & Inventors, 922298, Environmental, 278290, History of Engineering & Technology, 278258, Marine & Nautical, 278229, Mechanical & Materials Engineering, 922382, Military & Naval, 922344, Petroleum, Mining & Geological, 922314, Production, Manufacturing & Operational, 922260, Reference, 57, Science & Nature, 1025612, Subjects, 266239, Books<
