AIRPORTS SEEK
WEATHER DATA
FROM CAPITAL
U. S. Bureau Flooded by
Requests for Reports
on Air Conditions.
BY RosCoE B. FLEMING

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Vir-
tually every city in the United
States is clamoring at the United
States Weather Bureau for special
aviation weather forecasts, accord
ing to the astrological department
headed by w. r. Gregg.
The bureau is limited by Congress,
however, to supplying such service
only to commercial aviation lines
approved by the Department of
Commerce. This service in itself is
growing by leaps and bounds. Cities
or persons wishing to 'obtain avia-
ton predictions can get them by
paying for their transmission, how
ever.
The bureau now has about forty
stations for the observation of up
per air conditions, and forty volun-
teer or paid "airway observers" who
furnish reports of surface condi-
tions to hiers.
Balloons Test Air
The forty so-called pilot balloon
stations for upper air observance
are spotted along the important
aerial routes. Five of them-New
York, Cleveland, Chicago, Hadley
Field, N. j., and Kansas City-have
24-hour service, which is shortly to
be extended to San Francisco and
Salt Lake City.
Several times a day two-Goot
balloons are released at these forty
stations. Their rise and drift are
followed through special instru-
ments, and the readings show the
force and direction of upper winds.
Cities which now have such sta
lions include Denver, Memphis, Ok
lahoma City, Knoxville and Wash
ington. Others are to be started
soon at Bellefonte, Pa, and Read
ing, Cal.
Makes Tests At Night
The forty surface condition OBJ
servers work mostly at night, and
at intermediate towns on the big
air lines. A man at Baltimore, for
instance, takes the wind velocity at
the field, ascertains the height OF
clouds by a special instrument, and
telephones this information TO Phil
adelphia and Neutrality-suspicious. on
the New York Atlanta line-as
we'll as giving it out locally.
The air mail and commercial
pilots are given information at each
stop. Thus a pilot between Chicago
and Dallas, Texas receives reports
on the weather at Kansas City,
Wichita and Oklahoma City.
The information is also available
to pilots undertaking special long
distance fights, ocean fliers and
others, and general air weather
conditions from many points are
broadcast twice daily from Station
NAA, Washington, and other radio
stations.
