In addition- to the eye readings of instruments at each of the widely seattered stations, each station will also have automatic recording . instruments, which will keep a continuous check of the various weather elements. All told, there will be about 40 stations, and for the most part these will by ‘n Greenland, Ice- jand, Canada, Alaska, and Siberia and the islands north of Siberia.| August is made the beginning of record | after the first, and having much the same object, was discussed and approved at a meeting of the In- ternational Mebeorological Organi- zation at Cepenhagen in 1929. A commission was named, of which Doctor La Cour, of Denmark, was made chairman, to perfect plans, The proposal was indorsed by the International Geodetic and Geo- | physical Union at its Fourth Gen- €ral Assembly at Stockholm in August, 1930, and the cooperation of the union, was assured. Immediately after the Stockholm meeting the commission for the seccnd polar year met at Lenin- grad, Union : of Sociali Soviet Republics, 'and outlined a pro- () meteorological work. Has Prectical Value ‘The meteorological work has been planned to produce results of im- |mediate practical value, and es- | pecially for forecasting the weather in 'middle latitudes. A network |of stations is to be maintained imorth of latitude 55° from August, 1931, to -August, 1933, inclusive. Most of these will be in comunica- tion by wireless with the meteoro- logical ‘services of the Northern |Hemisphere, so that the observa- |tions. can be entered at once on (Northern Hemisphere weather maps. :A similar system of stations on a {lesser scale is planned for the south polar region. In middle and equatorial lati- tudes, at selected stations, the obs- ervational program wil be intensi- {fied, and copies of automatic re- ch’ds and of eye readings from |these stations, as well as from | polar -stations, will be made avail- |ahble. to. the meteorclogical services. Observations of upper-air condi- tions are to be obtained in all lati- the polar year because it is thatlmda,w means of balloons and month which offers the most favor- 'airplanes, and from automalic ins- able ‘weather conditions for at least fruments at mountain stations.
