The great battle among Government by everchanging effects in the atmos- scientists over the question of whether | phere. It is necessary, in his opin- weather changes can be forecast by [lon, to walt until a year has passed studying changes in the sun’s heat|before one can attempt to work out continues. the average values of the solar heat. H. H. Clayton of Canton, Ma: Dr. C. G. Abbot, director of the physical observatory of the Smith- sonian Institution, who have been working and experimenting on the affirmative side of the debate for 20 years, assert that changes in the sun's heat control weather conditfons; that forecasting on this basis is possible and practicable and is the system of forecasting used by the Argentine gov- ernment. They concede that the: have not yet reached the point where the system could be used in this coun- try, but belleve they will. If they are right, their method will supplant the Weather Bureau's method of forecasting for several days in ad- vance by a study of daily observations, pecullar local conditions and records. The Clayton-Abbot school predicts that forecasts for much longer perfods and with a greater degree of accuracy will | be possible by their system. Earlicr this year Clayton and Abbot publish- ed late results of thelr experiments | and observations. | Takes Issue With Claim. Now comes C. F. Marvin, chief of the Weather Bureau and leader of | the negative side of the debate, with | the most comprehensive technical | analysis of the Clayton-Abbot claim yet attempted. His analysis runs into many thousands of words, written for the sclentist rather than the public, and yet is fntended only as a pre. | liminary survey, which will be follow- ed by further reports. He is support- ed by Herbert H. Kimball, solar radi ation investigator for the Weather Bureau, with anbther technical paper. Both Marvin and Kimball applaud the devotion to sclence of their adve sarles, and instead of declaring th claims without merit, conservativels pointing out what they regard a rors in the Clayton-Abbot observations, and In effect, hold they have not Yvoved their point to the satisfaction of wclence. Marvin in his report arguas In a nutshell: That while there are changes in the sun's heat, no accurate method | of measuring those changes or of showing how often they occur or whether they are perlodic or of prov- | Ing daily changes important, has been | discovered. | That changes without as well as| within the sun determine the effect | |of its heat upon the earth. That there are other factors, | addition to the sun’s heat, whic determine weather conditions. Seeks Basis of Change. “In the derived day-to-day values of the solar constant (average) ar found greater or lesser changes,” sald Mr. Marvin. | part of these, it any is due | changes in solar intensity and what | part to wholly unavoldable atmos- pheric influences and other errors of measurement? “Fully alert to the great meteoro- logical importance of consequential changes in the solar constant over both short and long periods of time, we regard it as of paramount im-| | portance to seek out a quantitative |answer to the question proposed. It |1s futile to hope to establish any | sclentific basis for weather forecast- |ing on supposed changes of solar con | stant before we know that the con- | stant does change from day to day, and if it does, how much.” That is the heart of the Marvin | argument; but his principal conten- tion is the statement that monthly average values of solar heat are | shown to be affected by atmospheric changes, which means that the sun's| heat must be subject to change dnfl_\" and astro-|to attempt weather forecasting on them, but If one has to wait a year for them, of what value are they in an effort to forecast tomorrow's weather, especially when they are subject to daily change? he asks. “I realize, of course,” he sald, “that this presentation of the case is.in more or less technical form, but I 722 77 ), 722000 7 207 %, One must have these average values have indicated at various points the statements that {indicate how little evidence there is in the statistic in- vestigation of the actual obsesvations of solar radiation to show that there is any consequential variation of in- tensity from day to day.
