HOW WEATHER BUREAU FORE
CASTS STORMS.

Many people have an idea that
there is something mysterious and
occult abouf The work of the Weather
Bureau il forecastng the coming OF
storms. frosts and floods. Not a few
think that the observers must neces
sarily get their data by reading the
planets. the stars and the moon. As
a matter of fact the forecaster of the
bureau foretells the coming of dis
turbances in a businesslike way, very
similar to that in which a man who
has ordered a shipment of goods
would estimate the date of its arrival.
Suppose a business man had or
dered carload of pineapples from
the Hawaiian Islands. He would
know the average time it would take
the steamer to make the trip TO the
Pacific port, the average time for
unloading and loading into refrigera-
tor cars, and the average number OF
days to be allowed these cars for
their trip across the continent to
New York. His estimate, however,
would be subject to error because the
steamship might be delayed by fog, or
the cars might meet with an accident.
Storms, like pineapples, as a rule
do not originate in the United States.
They come to us, some from the Phil
ippines. Japan. Siberia, Alaska, Can
ada or the Gulf of Mexico. The
Weather Bureau gets cable, tele-
graphic or wireless notice of a for
eign storm. Station after station, or
vessel after vessel. reports the storms
arrival in its neighborhood, so that
the general direction and rate of pro-
gress can be determined very early.
In fact, the arrival of some storms
can be foretold ten days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the re-
gion of low barometer which is the
storm center around which the winds
blow. This whirl or eddy moves
bodily forward with the general east
ward drift of about $50 miles day
in our ATTITUDES. AS the lines of
equal pressure Gsobars) around the
low center crowd closer together, the
winds attending the storm increase in
force. The foreeaster determines the
direction of movement of the storm
and its velocity.
When weather disturbances are re-
ported, the forecasters know from
experience about how long it takes
them to reach the Pacific coast and
then how long after they will reach.
