Abstract
IN a communication in Nature1, I suggested an explanation for the occurrence of low-level atmospheric ducts over the sea, which had been reported by McPetrie and Starkey2 in conditions of strong winds. It was suggested that the previous history of the air was the governing factor in deciding whether an atmospheric duct would occur. I am indebted to Dr. Starkey for additional information showing the dates of occurrence of various signal strengths in the Cardigan Bay area in strong wind conditions.
