Earih's Ozone Rinq
Changes 10 Be Tested
For Clues 10 Storms
Agriculture Department
Aids Research Into
Cosmic influences

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-A theory that
storms may be caused by changes In
a 6o,c0o-foot ring of ozone around
the earth will be tested soon at the
University of Chicago's newly estab-
lished Institute of Meteorology.
DR.. H. r. Byers, acting director,
said today the research into cosmic
influences on weather will be aided
by an agreement with the agricul-
ture marketing service of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which added 1000 to the insti-
tute's funds for work in determining
the scientific basis for long-range
weather forecasts.
Research workers will seek to learn
whether the ring of ozone, a form
of oxygen three and one-half times
as dense as the ordinary gas, is an
important absorbing medium of the
variable ultraviolet output Of the
sun.
"A close correlation between the
amount of ozone and the weather
has been observed" DR.. Byers said.
Just ahead of a storm there is an
apparent ozone minimum and Just
afterward an ozone maximum.
so far no time lag has been evil
dent, and we now plan to look for
long correlations.
DR.. Byers added: Contrary to
some lay opinion, accurate weather
forecasting beyond five days has not
yet been achieved" The Institutes
objective, he said, is to expand this
scope to 80 days.
