Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-02

University of Chicago in detecting the close
connection between cosmic ray observations
and the factors which determine the kind
of weather we have.
1t now appears possible that continuous
cosmic ray measurements will be able TO
duplicate the observations of the famous new
system of weather forecasting known air
mass analysis And the hope is that the
cosmic ray measurements will be able to DO
the job faster, cheaper and eventually more
accurately.
Air-mass analysis sounds complicated but
the basis of this system of weather forecast
ing is easily understandable. Briefly it is
the study of the weather in three dimensions
particularly the investigation of the whole
vertical cross section of the air over any
given place The temperature of the air at
different heights its water content and the
distribution of cold and warm air masses
through the atmosphere are among the items
which the weather man needs to know for
his work.
The swift growth of commercial aviation
after the war soon led to private weather
forecasting services by the airlnes in the
United States who employed their own
meteorologists using the new weather fore
casting system. The eminent success of the
method has recently led to its adoption by
the L. S. Weather Bureau.
casting is that at least once a day weather
recording Instruments must be taken aloft
TO extreme heights. For while airplape
flights were made especially for this purpose
Now ingenious robot weather men are sent
aloft, tied to a string of small, free-fying
balloons of the type shown on this page
The robot balloon weather men simply
little instruments which record temperatures
pressures and water content of the air as
they ascend.
These devices called radiosondes cost
about $50 each. While the weather men try
to recover them, it really makes no difference
for forecasting. whether they get them back
or not. The observations which they have
made already back in the hands of the
scientists on the earth. thanks to radio.
The whole point of the newest cosmic ray
discoveries is that it seems possible for earth
bound cosmic ray meters to take over the
job that the hgh-fying radiosondes of the
Weather Bureau do now. One big advantage.

instruments. While the cosmic ray meters

'netic field of the earth that extends far out
in space, how speedy and energetic the cosmic
ray particles are when they first hit the
earth's air and particularly, on the way the
atmosphere over your head is distributed
II is this last distribution factor which
is intimately tied up with the weather.
Simple reasoning shows that if there are
weather factors which can make the in

which ensure that perpetual
