It is evident that a new technique of forecasting Recently the Norwegians developed a new system of forecasting based on air mass analysis and investiga- tions have proven be superior to our old method. The air mass analysis is simply a meth- ed of tracking air masses and in- cludes the use of meteorological data taken at high altitudes. The pounds attached to The flights usually require about one and cne-half hours and the tile is spent in circlnig over town wjthin a radius of about twenty mjles.

Compared to Ocean The atmosphere is like a huge ocean with cold currents coming down from the north and warm, humid cwrrents flowing in from the Bering Sea or the Pacific Ocean. The currents are like great rivers or like the Japanese Cur- rent and the Gulf Stream, in the atmosphere. They follow more or less well defined but continually varying paths over the country. Storms and quick uhanges of tem- perature occur where they meet. A careful study of the new “air ‘mass analysis” system in the States | has demonftrated an improved ac- curacy in forecasting the weather. Value of Reports Shown When the Fairbanks flight re- ports are received at San Francisco and Washington they are studied and compared with similar reports received from points in Canada and the continental United States which constantly move from one part of the world to another may be fol- lowed. The cold waves which move down from Alaska and on across the plains of Canada may be dis- covered and mapped several days before they reach the thickly set- tled regions of the States.
