Abstract
I have communicated to the Journal Vol VIII. No.9 on the correlation between pressure and temperaure of winter in 1930 at the summit of Mt. Huzi. Continuing previous study I have made the same observations in the following year and have found that the correlation coefficient is 0.83 which is larger than 0.69 for the preceding year. In addition I have obtained the following curve by the individual observations for pressure (P) and temperature (t) in summers 1927-1931 and in winters 1930-1931 at the same place: P=487.5+0.568t-0.0111t2.
The relation between the pressure and temperature is very intimate at the level 5 or 6km. as obtained from the hypsometric formula where the change of 1 m. m. mercury in pressure corresponds to that of one degree centigrade in temperature; but the relation between them is not so intimate at the summit of Mt. Huzi where the height is about 3.8km.
