Fair" and know it will be so. In
plain words, he will know what he's
talking about He won't do any more
guessing.
He will know because he has heard
from Calama, Chile.
Calama Is the dryest, sunniest,
most rainless place in the world.
There the sun shines forth from an
almost cloudless sky day after day,
week after week. and it never rains.
It's an awful place in which to live,
but 1t Is the ideal spot for studying
the radiation from the sun.
Changes in amount of lis radia-
ton affects the weather. By studying
these changes man is coming to know
weather. Definite periods of high
and low amounts of radiation have
been found by scientists stationed in
Calama, who are studying the rela-
ton of these periods to u tempera-
ture and weather on earth.
The amount of radiation from the
sun varies from day to day as well as
from year to year. That probably is
why this day b hotter or colder than
IA yea ago.
When the sun is undergoing a
period of great activity as shown by
sun spots, prominences and similar
signs, 1t is like poking a 1re ana
bringing fresh Goals to the surface.
Thus there is produced a hotter sun
and consequently a greater amount of
radiation. Also, there Is a short
period variation which is explained
by changes in the transparency or
the solar envelop.
After a few years of solar observa-
ton. in Calama, and in other cloud
less regions on the earth, 1t Is thought
that weather experts win use these
