A professional View Of Weather
Predictions.
The subject of weather and
weather predictions is the truly
popular side of meteorology 1t
is popular with the people. and
unfortunately it is still a ..popu.
lar science" with those who view
it professionally. From ancient
times it has been the custom TO
make local weather predictions
for the morrow from the aspects
of the sky to-day; but the later
phases of the question, the pre-
dictlon OF weather for a distant
locality, is of modern develop
ment. Formerly our official
weather predictions were mainly
made at Washington, but now
these are supplemented by the
forecasts made by officials located
at a number of points distributed
over the country. These weather
predictions are not. as some per
sons think, of "a really satisfac.
tory scientific nature. They Ger.
tainly do require the application
of certain faculties of Judgment
in orderto make them successfully;
but it has frequently been found
to be the case that persons with
relatively very small amount
of meteorological knowledge
could make better predictions
than the savants of science.
Tie progress in improving the
methods OF predictions has been
very Slight since their first be.
ginning, and whatever gain has
been made has been due to the
increase of telegraphic and other
facilities for the rapid transmits.
sions of data and the predictions
themselves. 1t is still too soon
to hope that observations aloft
may bn made with regularity,
but the missing links necessary
for the tue understanding of
storms are undoubtedly to be
found in the atmospheric condi.
tions above the earth's surface.
All lons-range weather predic.
tions are pure charlatanism, and
any scientist who would have the
temerity to fortell the weather
conditions for a coming season,
or even a coming week, would
very deservedly lose caste with
his fellow workers.
