 The vast influence which the ocean must exert, as a moderator of climate, here suggests itself. The heat of summer is stored up in the ocean, and slowly given out during the winter. This is one cause of the absence of extremes in an island climate.  The Principles of Physics - Page 274by Alfred Payson Gage - 1895 - 634 pagesFull view - About this book
