chief said. Before embarking upon
longer-term forecasting, the bureau
Will want to be sure that such fore
casts are accurate at least IS or 90
per cent Of the time"
1t Is possible, he said, for private
agencies to make forecasts farther
into the future than the bureau
even at the risk Of errors without
being subjected to the criticism that
would befa1l the Weather Bureau
when 1t went wrong,
People naturally expect reports
put out by their Government to be
accurate" he said. THUS the re-
sponsibiity of the Weather Bureau
is much greater than that of others
who might engage in forecasting."
System Being Developed.
A system now being developed for
expressing the atmospheric pressure
OF the North American continent in
terms of an index may make present
methods sufficiently accurate to per-
NIT longer forecasts by the bureau.
Research workers have found a
deanite correlation between the
trend OF this pressure index and the
resultant weather patterns over the
entire North American Hemisphere.
For example, during the abnor-
mally warm dry weather last fall, the
atmospheric pressure index was abb
normally high. In the middle of DE-
cember, the index dropped sharnlv
and continued to fall steadily until
the end of January, during which
time very cold weather overspread
most OF North America and Europe
At the end of January, for the first
time in six weeks, the index began
to rise and the cold wave ended.
