HOW THE WEATHER BUR-
EAU FORECASTS STORMS,
FROSTS AND FLOODS

Many people have an idea that
there is something mysterious and
occult about the work of the Wea-
ther Bureau in ~forecasting the
coming of storms, frosts and floods.
Not a few think that the observers
must necessarily get their data
by reading the planets, the stars
and the Moon. AS a matter of fact,
the forecaster of the bureau fore
tells the coming Of disturbance in
a businesslike way, very similar to
that in which a man who has order
ed a shipment of goods would esti-
mate the date Of its arrival.
Suppose a business man had or
dered q 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 in.
to refrigerator ears and the aver
age number of days to be allowed
these cars, for their trip across the
continent to New York. His esti-
mate, however would be subject to
error, because the steamship might
be delayed or the cars might meet
with an accident.
Storms, like p%ineapples. as rule
do not originate in the United
States. They come to US, some
from the PHILIPPINES, Japan, Siberia,
Alaska, Canada, the Gulf of Mexico.
The Weather bureau gets cable,
telegraphic or wireless notice of a
foreign storm. Station after sta
ton. or vessel after vessel report
the storms arrival in its neighbor-
hood, SO that the general direction
and rate Of progress can be deter
mined very early. In fact the ar
rival of some storms can be fore
told 10 days in advance.
The ~forecasters watch for the
region Of low barometer which is
the storm center around which the
winds blow. This whirT or eddy
moves bodily forward with the gen.
eral eastward drift about IS miles
a day in OUR latitudes. The FIRE.
caster determines the direction of
movement of the storm and it's
velocity.
When weather disturbances are
reported, the ~forecasters know
from experience about how long it
takes them to reach our Pacific
coast, and then how long afterward
they will reach the Atlantic coast.
For example, if a storm coming
from Siberia drifts eastward around
the North Pole and reappears in
Alaska, it should appear in Wash
lngton and Oregon in about tive
days; should get to the Great
Lakes in six days and to the Allan
tic coast in or eight days.
Unexpected conditions may de-
lay storms or divert them from
the straight track, just as a refrig-
orator car may be thrown of it's
schedule or be shipped by ACCT
dent on a wrong road. Some Of
these storms deplete themselves by
running into regions of high bare
meter which are Of greater megni-
tude and extent than the storm
itself. Some Of them however tray
Ell completely around the world.
To keep tab on cold waves that
come into the United States from
Canada and Alaska, the Weather
Bureau studies the Canadian Wea-

ports from Iceland, the British Is
lands, and Continental Europe, and
