Importance of Weather in

by an American seaDlane, the Weath-
err Bureau of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture reiterates
it's belief that not until Improvements
in aircraft have rendered them
more independent of weather condl-
tions than they now are, will trans
oceanic flying be at all practicable
at any rate. on anything like reg
ular schedule. The bureau meteoro-
logists, however, express little doupt
that such improvements will be made,
and that within few years flying
across the seas will no longer be
looked upon as an adventure. but
rather as a necessary feature OF the
worlds daily routine.
Weather reports, since the trans
Atlantic flight was made, show that
at no time since have conditions been
so favorable as when the NC planes
left Newfoundland. In general, ac-
cording to the meteorologists, cocoa
sions are rare on which ideal con-
ditons would be experienced over
as long a course as that upon which
the navy flyers set out.

made on ships at sea, under the di-

together with those regularly taken
in the United States and Canada,
were reported by radio four times
daily to the central office of the
Weather Bureau at Washington, D.
c., and to the base ship Aroostook
at Trepassey, Newfoundland. At the
latter place these reports were chart
ed and studied by representative
of the Weather Bureau and by a
member of the naval meteorological
service, and statements, based upon
this study and indicating the cur
rent and probable future conditions
were given to the commanders OF
