Weathermen are working out a
new technique which may give ac-
curate forecasts of sun, wind and
rain q week in advance,
Then farmers, industrialists, va
cationtsts and others who must
figure on the weather could plan
to escape or minimize the hazards
Of the elements. Present forecasts
cover . 36-hour period.
The successful DEVELOPMENT of
long-range forecasts was q goal set
by President Roosevelt when in
1898 he appointed F. w. Reichelder-
fer, one of the Nays outstanding
meteorologists, as chief Of the
Weather Bureau.
THE value OF such Oong-range)
forecasts to agriculture and indus
try would be inestimably large, prob
ably running into the millions of
dollars annually" Mr.. Reichelderfer
said. He said many industries, air.
lines, water-power plants and COM
modify traders seek to I'LL the gap
now by employing their own meteo-
rologists or by subscribing to pri-
vate weather forecasting services.
Would Bring Aid to Many.
With advance knowledge supplied
by long-range forecasts, power COM
panies, for example, could better
utilize run-oh water to operate their
generators; electric light companies
would be able to spot emergency
crews In areas Of anticipated storms;
grain traders, tipped on whether to
expect short or bumper crops, could
decide whether to buy or sell with
a greater feeling of safety; and
farmers, few of whom are financial
ly able to buy private forecasts, could
better gauge their plowing, plant
ing and cultivating operations.
City folks could plan weekend
trips to the country or to the sea-
shore without having those plans
upset at the last minute by an un-
happy and unforeseen change in the
weather.
Longer-range forecasts would give
millions living in river valleys more
time to prepare for floods. They
also. would increase the effective
ness Of the bureaus special FROST
warning service in the citrus fruit
and truck farming areas Of the
South and the Pacific Coast by CIV
ing growers more time to place
smudge and other heating apparatus
in orchards and to gather fruit
which otherwise might be frozen.
Accuracy Of 60 or 70 Per Cent.
If private meteorologists are able
to make forecasts for several days
In advance, why doesn't the Weather
Bureau provide such service for the
general public?
Mr.. Reichelderfer explained that
the bureau could make such fore
casts. Despite recent advances in
weather knowledge, however, pres
ent. forecasting methods, applied to
North Americas complex weather
elements. result in an average accu-
racy Of only 90 or 70 per cent fol
forecasts made beyond two or three
days.
