THE EARTH'S ENVELOPE,
Three Distinct Layers of Air-Cola
and Gales of High Attitudes

From the Chicago Tribune
Inc new science of the air is the result
OF many hundred kite and sounding bal
loon flights made by day and by night In
fair weather and foul, over land and sea
at all seasons of the year and from the
equator to the arctic circle. Most peo-
pie Know that the warm air surrounding
the earth is only a thin belt, but we do
not most of US know that at ten miles
above the earth 1t would not only be Bit
terly cold but the sun would appear
quite different
The air is stratified in three more or
less distinct layers In the lowest we
live. 1t extends about two miles and is a
region of turmoil, whimsical winds. cy-
clones and anti-cyclones. At two miles
the freezing point Is reached and then
there is second stratum extending up
ward for about another six miles. Here
the air grows steadily colder and drier,
the lowest temperature recorded being
167 degrees below freezing point. Here
the air moves in great planetary swirls
produced by the spinning of the earth on
it's axis, so that the wind always blows
In the same easterly direction.
The greater the height the more furi-
GUS is the blast of this relentless gale.
After this layer comes the third or iso-
thermal stratum. discovered almost 81
simultaneously by NJ. de Bort and Dr..
Assmann. This is called the perma nent
inversion stratum, because the tempera-
ture increases with the height reached.
But the temperatures far recorded IN
the second stratum are not high being
far below zero Fahrenheit, generally
somewhere from 122 degrees to l4O de-
grees below it.
Here the air longer swirls In
planetary circles. The wind may blow
in direction contrary TO that in the
second layer. And the air invariably is
excessively dry. Where this third stratum
ends no one knows But it must be at
more than eighteen miles above the
earth. For sounding balloons have
reached this height and have not found
the end of the permanent inversion layer
of air. When the influence of the upper
regions of air upon the lower is fully UNI
derstood it may be possible to foreteil
the weather. not merely for a day, but
for a week.
