Ihc I'atanuska V.ilhey Chamber of Cor-merce four,
out a few of the things than go on behind the
lines on ’"odnesday of this week when IIr,.Perrj
0. 3 rorly, C’-ief in Charge of the Anchorage •
Station at Ilerrill Field addressed the '~roup
during the IToon Lunche.on hour. Ilr. 3-nerly
explained cone of the work that goes on be
fore he fares the nike to tell us' whether we
can expect rain—snow or warn weather. .The
backbone of the weather bureau is the many , ol
servers out over the country. It is rlanned
to have those observers about 50 miles anart.
The observers make regular reports to the
"vather Bureau Stations’who in turn compile
this data and chart it on maps. After the
nap has been charted it is read and from it
the forecaster draws his conclusions which
he masses on to the public in his daily re
ports.
It is interesting to note that this data is
gathered not only from ground observers ’cut
also from Air ilots and ships at sea. These
observers check these factors; 1, the ceilin
or cloud base. cloud coverage. .3, Visibil
ity on a horizontal rlano. 4, 'P. in—snow—
sleet—ete. 5, Pressure. 6, ”ind direction
and Velocity. • ■
Prom the {-round balloons arc sent up to gath
er information. Those ray be equipped with
transmitting sots which send baei: certain re
cordings. T!»c uses cf all’ this information
are many. "Indio summaries arc campilod to
carry the messages out to the people. Air
rlane -ilots especially need this information
before .beginning a fli ght and during a flight
They need to Iron -resent weather conditions,
storm areas and winds aloft. This is espec
ially true of the smaller -lanes.
Hr. Z perly stated that a station in the ""'al
ley is badly needed to maize observations.
Data received from a station here would
greatly facilitate the work at the A ohorag>
station and would enable them to make more
accurate forecasts, especially when a cold
bank of air may be moving in from the ITorth.

eral Atkinson, Commander of the Air forces
in Alaska; Cel, ■ J. P. Jok_ son, linage r of
the Alaska Railroad; "oils Irrtn, Pros1dent
