Description

Before Doppler radar and broadcast weather reports, Spanish-born Benito Vines (1837-1893) spent decades observing the skies at Belen Observatory in colonial Cuba, routinely issuing weather reports and forecasts to local newspapers. This book explores Vines as both pioneer in the study of tropical meteorology and a colonial Jesuit priest.
