Of the troposphere, or point
where temperature ceases to
decline with altitude.
The popular idea that atomic
bomb explosions may affect
weather at last is getting some
scientific support. but the effect
is quite complex and in a d.
rection not hitherto considered.
These major Developments in
weather science were reported
at meetings Of the Interna-
tional Union Of Geodesy and
Geophysics here today.
Air River Theories Told
The north's air rivers. which
probably are duplicated south
of the equator, are the So
called "jet streams" somewhat
comparable to the Gulf Stream
in the sea but by no means so
rtgidly confined to q course.
All flow from west to east.
Speed differs as much as 100
miles an hour from time to
time. Their cause is unknown,
although several complex theo-
ries are being advanced here.
The first intimation Of high
air rivers came during the last
war, 1t was explained by DR..
Andrew Thompson. chief mete-
orologist of the Canadian
Weather Service. Air Force
pilots flying from North Amer-
lea to Europe sometimes
crossed the Atlantic in amaz-

ingly record time. Then it was
found that all the record cross
ings were along a certain route
which had been chosen quite
haphazardly. Thus, shortly
after the war the first let
stream was Identified. flowing
over Northern United States
and Southern Canada.
Discovery Of the other two,
DR.. Thompson explained. has
been quite recent. One flows
essentially around the Arctic
Circle and another crosses
Southern United States. These
findings have resulted from
thousands Of upper air wind
measurements with RADIO
sondeS. the balloon carried
robots which now are used BY
all weather services and tele-
meter their records to stations
on the ground.
New ozone Hypothesis
All over the earth. at altitude
Of about so miles, is q thick
atmospheric layer OF ozone.
This makes all life on earth
possible. It traps the greater
part Of the invisible ultraviolet
radiation from the sun. II tins
came through all living things
on earth's surface soon would
burn to a crisp.
Hitherto. 1t has been sup
posed that almost all earth's

ozone was confined to this
layer. and that very little
seeped to lower attitudes. 9th
erwise the triple oxygen was
known chiefly from the minute
amounts with a pungent odor
produced by electrical dis
charges. Some doubts Of this
hypothesis were due to the Los
Angeles smog which was found
to contain exceptional amounts.
This has led to discovery Of
what appears to be q continue
GUS thin sheet Of ozone at the
bottom Of the stratosphere
which apparently acts as a
steel undershirt for the world
below the thick ozone armor
higher up. Il traps dangerous
amounts Of the gas which may
get through. There still is
some question Of the hypoth-
esis, it was explained, because
Of too few observations. It is
possible that the supposed
lower armor may consist Of
scattered ozone clouds which
shift from place to place. The
hypothesis Is being tested at
Oxford University in England
and by DR.. J. L. Koenigsiield Of
the Royal Institute of Mete-
orology Of Belgium, who plans
ESQ radiosonde Nights in this
connection during the winter.

DR.. Alec Sehon Of McGilI
University, Montreal, told the
American Chemical Society he
and associates had found q way
of extracting pure antibodies
from animal blood serum. The
animals had manufactured the
antibodies after exposure to
hay fever pollen.
Whether these antibodies
can protect against hay fever
is still being studied. It could
give hay fever victims effective
relief. The method might pro-
tect other victims Of various
allergies or diseases.
The Canadian scientists took
blood from animals exposed to
ragweed pollen. and passed it
through a column Of resin-like
material. Attached to the resin
was the active agent in rag
weed that causes the. allergic
troubles.
The antibodies became at
tached to the ragweed agent
and later could be separated
and obtained in pure form.
Members Of the research
team included Ladislas Gyenes.

interested in the makeup Of

them for clues whether cer-

Now, it was explained, the
