Description:
This treatise contains Lambert's
meteorological observations made in Chur during the years 1755-1756.
The measuring instruments employed are a barometer, a hygrometer and a
thermometer. Lambert's meteorological interests, pursued throughout his
scientific carreer, were originally stimulated by a correspondence with
Daniel Bernoulli and most probably by reading Petrus van
Musschenbroek's work.
