Deemed Outcome of Coming Polar Expedition. “Not the least important of mel scientific data that might be gather- ed by an extended survey of the arctic regions would be those in re- gard to weather conditions, a knowl- edge of which might be useful in the making of weather forecasts for the United States,” says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic Soclety in re- gard to the polar expedition pro- to be made by the United States next spring by direction of tary Denby. Most of our weather is mnot local matter at all,” continues the bulletin, “but results from disturb that originate perhaps many thousands of miles away and ‘drift to us. Thus our weather bill of fare is made up largely of a series of moving ‘lows’ and ‘highs'—regions of ubnormal and abnormal barometric pressure—made familiar to readers by the roughly circular and elliptical lines on the daily maps of the United States weather bureau. Technique of Predictl “Accompanying these disturbances are winds, hot and cold ‘spells’ and rain or snow-——the chief factors that make up our weather. Forecasting weather consists large! in detecting new disturbances as they show up on the western and northwestern bor- ders of the country, learning their characteristics, and figuring out the paths that they probably will follow because of the prevailing pressures and_temperatures ahead of them. ““The great majo y of the ‘lows’ seem to_originate over the warm sea south of the Aleutian Islands fn the winter, and over the interior of Alaska during the summer. But some of the conditgons that cause them tof be ‘built up’ in those places and create the ‘highs' to the east have their birth farther north in the polar regions, and a better knowledge of temperature, pressure and wind changes there would undoubtedly facilitate weather forecasting. “In the search for the beginnings of its weather the United States is Open Evenings 18-kt.
