Ferrel’s Convectional Theory Of Tornadoes

Explore the groundbreaking yet controversial “Ferrel’s Convectional Theory Of Tornadoes” by William Morris Davis. This historical work delves into the theories developed by meteorologist William Ferrel regarding the formation and behavior of tornadoes based on convectional forces.Davis meticulously presents Ferrel’s ideas, offering readers a glimpse into the scientific thought processes of the late 19th century. While Ferrel’s specific theory has been superseded by modern meteorological understanding, this book remains a vital resource for those studying the history of meteorology and the evolution of scientific thought on severe weather phenomena.
