Excerpt from The Climate of Australasia in Reference to Its Control by the Southern Ocean This cycle does not offer us any simple direct evidence as to the nature of the forthcoming seasons, for it affects the weather of the continents mainly by causing changes in the circulation of the oceans. Now we know that ocean currents vary from year to year, we can understand how the actual irregularities in the seasons are fully consistent with the obvious oceanic control of the climate of the lands in the southern hemisphere. As these irregularities are caused by processes which take a year or more to run their course, we have the means Of watching in one year the evolution of the weather we shall experience in the next. The problems of long distance weather forecasting may be solved by two methods, each applicable to special areas. In this address I have referred mainly to the influence of the oceanic Circulation, as its effects may be traced directly in the land masses of the southern hemisphere. In the more complex conditions of the northern hemisphere the oceanic control may not be recognised so directly and there seasonal weather changes are necessarily considered in relation to the atmospheric pressure systems, which have been investigated with such interesting results by the American meteorologists.
