Extended experience in the construction and use of
several different predictive nomographs covering a wide
range of frequency distributions of various types of
weather and other phenomena, suggested the probability
that a universal series of patterns of frequency
distributions might permeate the whole of nature. This
study is based in part on the several nomographic
patterns developed in previous studies. It assumes that
all of the frequency distributions we are likely to
encounter in practical climatology, whether symmetrical
or asymmetrical (skewed), may be fairly well approximated
by a family of cumulative frequency curves, provided they
are plotted on such a scale that 100 units represents the
whole range of observational experience in each. The
predictive patterns in the General Nomograph and its
associated table depend for their operation on the
numerical position of the mean (average) between the two
extremes (maximum and minimum) in the frequency
distribution, when the three related measures are reduced
to a 100-unit scale. The means of frequency distributions
having various degrees of skewness lie along a diagonal
line from the lower left to the upper right of the basic
section of the nomograph. Other lines (curved) trace the
values of other percentile or fractional parts of the
various distributions. The construction, use and
reliability of this nomograph and its associated table
are given in this report.
