PREDITS WEATHER YEARS IN ADVANCE ‘Astronomer Borne Out in Calculations Made as Tests. By the Associated Press. LAWRENCE, Kans, June 13.—The possibility of charting accurate rainfall forecasts for years in advance has led Dr. Dinsmore Alter, professor of astron- omy at the University of Kansas, to plan a year's study of British rainfall Tecords. Several of his test predictions, com- puted mathematically from statistical reports, have correlated so exactly with actual rainfall that he believes further data will expedite the making of serious long-time forecasts. Computes Periodogram. With data from six places on the British Isles, covering years from 1834 to 1924, Dr. Alter computed & pe- riodogram with a_dozen or more peaks. When the four principal peaks were ap- plied to actual data, the resulting chart of departure from normal rainfall was found to follow closely the actual chart- ed_departures. Dr. Alter's test predictions up to 1940 have been published by the United States Weather Burcau. He has writ- ten several papers on periodicity in rainfall, basing his studies on records from the Pacific coast of North America, Chile, Siberia, Australia, Jamaica, Mad- agascar and the Punjab in India Gets More Data. By using data over longer periods, and seven or eight factors instead of the four in his test forecasts, and by using quarter-year rather than half-year units, he hopes to arrive at correlations sufficiently high to justify serious fore- casts for years ahead. Excess rainfall in England for 1928 was predicted by Dr. Alter a year be- fore and actually otcurred to & greater extent than predicted. His forecast de- flelency for this year was borne out by Teports showing an actual deficiency of 50 per cent for the first three months. He will sail this Summer for his re- search in England, under provisions of 2 GuggenReim fellowship. CAPITAL CHINESE WINS FIGHT TO STAY IN U. S.
