Bureau office has been asked to
give the purpose of the flights
and the benefits derived from
them. Weather Bureau service
has realized, for some time, that
it has practically reached the
limit of its ability in forecasting
the weather from the old style
weather maps. It is evident that
a new technique of forecasting
should be adopted. Recently the
Norwegians developed a new sys
tern of forecasting based on air
mass analysis and investigations
have proven this system to be
I superior to our old method of
■tracking air masses and includes
the use of meteorological data
taken at high altitudes. The old
style weather maps show only
the weather and atmospheric con
ditions that prevail at the earth’s
i surface whille the new system in
cludes records from the air aloft,
thereby providing third-dimen
sional data to help round out the
! whole picture from which the
'forecaster makes his deductions
(about the weather ahead.
Compared to Ocean
The atmosphere is like a huge
ocean with cold currents coming
;down from the north and warm,
humid currents flowing in from
the Bering Sea or the Pacific Oc
[ean. The currents are like great
rivers or like the Japanese Cur
rent and the Gulf Stream, in the
! atmosphere. They follow more
or less well defined but contin
ually varying paths over the coun
try. Storms and quick changes
! of temperature occur where they
meet. A careful study of this
new “air mass analysis” system
in the States has demonstrated
ian improved accuracy in forecast
ing the weather.
I
Value of Reports Shown
j When the Fairbanks flight re
| ports are received at San Fran
cisco and Washington they are
studied and compared with sim
ilar reports received from points
in Canada and the continental
United States. In this manner
the air masses which constantly
move from one part of the world
to another may be followed. The
cold waves which move down
from Alaska and on across the
plains of Canada may be discov
ered and mapped several days
before they reach the thickly set
tled regions of the States. The
airplane has made the air mass
study possible as it provides an
ideal method for exploring the
upper air. The movements of the
eragt masses are mapped from
observations assembled from 25
specially equipped stations where
planes are sent aloft to 17,000 ft.
each day. These reports are sup
plemented by surface observa
tions taken twice daily (2 a.m.
and 2 p.m. Fairbanks time) at
about three hundred stations in
the United States, Canada, Mexi
co, the West Indies and Alaska
as weM as from ships at sea. It.
is thought that a study of this!
information will tend to improve
the accuracy of and perhaps ex
tend the range of our forecasts.
By this new system we may even
tually be enabled to forecast with
some degree of accuracy the wea
ther that will occur several days ]
in the future.
