and the summer cool, where rain falls in abundance, and the weather
is unsettled and changeable with frequent storms, we have examples
of an equally typical maritime climate. But in spite of these great
contrasts, the influence of the Gulf Stream can be traced all over the
country. It is in the power of this mighty current to heat the strata
of air above it, and it thus becomes one of the chief agencies to
which Norway owes her conditions as a civilised inhabited country
to her very farthest bounds on the shores of the polar sea.

The meteorological observations which formed the basis for
the above brief account of the Norwegian climate have been
collected and worked out by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute,
which was founded in 1866 as a government institution under
the Norwegian university in Kristiania, and is still working under
the guidance of its founder, the well-known meteorological
professor, Dr. H. Mohn, At the present time, the institute receives
observations regularly from 456 stations, of which 350 have been
established solely for the observation of the rainfall.
