In case of an attack from the Pa
cific this data would be invaluable.
for with the normal flow of the wealth
er from west to east, an enemy would
have the advantage of advance in
formation on weather conditions
unless we we're forewarned. They
might know, for instance, that a
heavy fog was going to set in, from
which they could attack unseen. If
our defenders we're unsuspecting, such
an attack might well be staggering.
The military history of the world is
full of victories and defeats caused by
the weather. OF the island of Salamis

partly responsible for one big forward
step in weather forecasting. AS just
mentioned, the war stopped the nor
NAL exchange of weather information
between ships at sea. and Norwegian
meteorologists, pressed by their king
to find some way to help the fishing
fleets and merchant vessels, began
working on a theory of weather
fronts" The basis of their theory was
that the cool air masses from the
north we're in constant battle with the
warm air masses from the south -
like the fronts" of the great armies
fighting in Europe. BY watching the
progress of the never-ending battle.
they found they could usually predict
wind, rain, fog and the other weather
phenomena.
In this country, one of the first
meteorologists to adopt the air-mass
theory. and to begin drawing "weath-

was more the work of gales than of
English men-o'-war. Again, it was
rain that turned the tide of the Battle
of Waterloo in 1915.
During the last World War. weather
stepped in decisively many times. A
French weather man made bad fore
cast one day in 1917, and great
French gas attack backfred. The
wind shifted halfway through the
attack, and the gas blew back upon
the French themselves, turning an in
tended advance into costly retreat.
A British forecaster was wrong - or
else his advice was ignored - and
one of the most ambitious British
drives in Flanders begged down in
slush and mud. An unreported hurri-
cane - unreported because the war
had stopped maritime exchange of
weather information - is thought to
have cost the United States Navy the
collier Cyclops with everybody aboard.
Incidentally, the World War was
