Notes for Table 2
* Detn eampQed from U. 8. Weather Bureau Data and various other sources.
b Column 2, The station deauumtion AP or CO indicates airport or eity office station, respectively.
* ndumn s. The devotions marked e ere (round elevations of the station. All other elevations oven are the actual elevations of the thermometer bulb above mean
sea level, corrected to IMS. * The periods of reeard indicated apply only to the highest temperature ever recorded shown in Column 5, and do not necessarily include all of the summer months
of the first year indicated. The last year indicated includes July or August, except three marked d which terminate prior to July of that year.
* It should be noted that rviumn 6 in the United States section of the table applies only to airports, as these data for city stations are not available at this Ume.
The temperature shown is the maximum hourly outdoor temperature which has been equalled or exceeded SH percent of the total hours of June, July. August, and
September for the 6-year period 1936-1939 inclusive. It is pointed out that in most cases the airport statuna are outside of the city, and that tbicaa data would apply
primarily to rural areas. 1 Columns 7 and 8 in tt United States section and Columns 9 and 10 in the Canadian section of the table record wet- and dry-bulb temperatures in
use by ASHAE members as reported by Chapter secretaries (or various stations Where such values were uot available, the design temperatures published by API
or obtained from various other sources have been inserted.
' * Tbs average wind velocities in Column 9 in the United States section were furnished by the U. S. Weather Bureau, corrected to 1948. In general these velocities
are averages for the months of June through September.
t The bulletin published by ARHAK for the """! weather data of Detroit indicates 73 F as the design wet-bulb temperature which has been equalled or ex
ceeded 5 percent of the hours for period 1939-39.

been relocated and in a few instances, some years are missing.
