Weather as Exchange of Highs & Lows:
"We discovered that the motion of wind along the surface of the Earth is a turbulent affair, rising here and hitting the Earth’s surface there and rising again. We discover that the wind, instead of being considered blown horizontally along the Earth from a god’s mouth or by a mysteriously hidden blower, should be recognized as enormous convection columns in the thin atmospheric layer surrounding the Earth and caused by a warm Earth in the presence of a cold outer space, so that Earth continuously heats the atmosphere at its lowest point, thus expanding it, which causes it to be of lesser specific gravity and therefore to be less attractive to gravity, which pulls the top layer of chilled and concentrated air downward and causes the heated air to rise in columns somewhat as water boils upward in expanded bubbles and draws downward in concentrated pinpointed bubbles. There are predominant heat points on Earth caused by less insulation or color variations of surface. There was a strong column here and more of a tendency to have that column go here than there.
“As a net result of these convection column tests it was discovered that the rising winds tend to greater velocity than that of the lowering air moving in from the outer reaches to”
