Description:

This is the original 1944 edition of Climate of Indiana by Stephen Sargent Visher, a leading geographer and meteorologist of the 20th century. Published by Indiana University as part of its Science Series (No. 13), this in-depth 511-page volume provides a comprehensive analysis of Indiana’s climate patterns, covering topics such as rainfall, temperature trends, wind behavior, snowfall, and local weather variability influenced by geography and topography.

Visher’s study not only outlines scientific meteorological principles but also ties them to agriculture, infrastructure, and public planning in Indiana—making it a valuable resource for geographers, climatologists, historians of science, and regional planners. His work is still cited in modern historical climate research.
