Abstract: Analyses of mean hourly pressure data for stations in Alberta and British Columbia for January and July show marked diurnal variations. The 12-hr wave is found to fit into the pattern discovered by other scientists. The 24-hr wave is well-marked and shows variations that result from orography and topography, and from the contrast between land and ocean. Observations from two stations above 2 km show differences which would appear to arise because of their different locations relative to the area of mountain ridges.
