KEEPING TABS |
ON WEATHER
IN ALASKA
Weather is not so easily “made,” or
foretold, if you will, in Alaska as in
the States, but the forecasting service
which began October 15 is expected to
show a vast improvement over all pre
vious attempts at that work in Alaska,
Melvin B. Summers, meteorologist in
charge, believes.
When one considers the enormous
expanse of snow-covered tundra and
hills, frozen streams, forests, and the
still, open places where no man lives
or even moves if he can avoid it, win
ter weather “making” in the North
assumes a different aspect. Particu
larly, Mr. Summers emphasizes, when
much of the work is a voluntary na
ture.
The Alaska bureau now has about
eighty co-operative and special ob
servers scattered through the vast ex
panses of the territory, who supply the
bureau with reports for the compila
tion of climatological data. For the
actual work of weather forecasting,
two reports daily are required of
eleven stations from widely-separated
points. These reports are sent by
wireless to Juneau and thence to
Washington, D. C., at 8 a. m. and 8
p. m„ Juneau time. Even with the
voluntary nature of the work, Mr.
Summers said, the results have been
gratifying. This year he looks for
greater success, due to the establish
ment of new stations at Ruby, Circle,
Hot Springs, Lignite and in the Kan
tishna country.
Daily weather reports will not be
furnished Alaska points this winter, as
was done last year, but advance in
formation will be distributed when
marked weather changes are indi
cated. Could a weather station be
established in Siberia, because of the
air movement from the west to the
east, Mr. Summers believes the
Alaska bureau’s work would be much
! improved.
j Alaska stations making regular
l reports now include: Sitka, Eagle,
i Tanana, Nome, Noorvik, Akiak, Atka,
Dutch Harbor, St. Paul, Kodiak, Val
dez and Juneau. Atka is in the Aleu
| tian group.
