ABBOT PREPARES WEATHER THES Expects to Convince Ex- perts Long-Range Fore- casts Are Sound. Dr. Charles G. Abbot, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, is pre- paring a thesis on long-range weather forecasting, based on his studies of solar radiation, that he believes will “convert” meteorologists generally to his much-discussed theories. Addressing a staff conference of the ‘Young Men'’s Christian Association, of which he is a director, Dr. Abbot said i he will have a comprehensive report on | the subject ready within about three months. He described his findings as convincing. | Dr. Abbot told the Y. M. C. A. rep- resentatives that while there are but a dozen meteorologists who see eye to | eye with him upon the practicability of | forecasting weather changes long in | advance, his researches should allay skepticism. The Weather Bureau meanwhile is studying possibility of increasing the range of its forecasts, which now are limited to a few days. Several months ago Secretary of Agriculture Wallace brought to Washington an Iowan, Larry Day, to study celectial “cycles” with a view to developing a new method of tion. Dr. Abbot explained to the Y. M. | C. A. officials that sun spots play an long-range prognostica- | | ! observe a provision of the N. R. A. important part in solar radiation changes and thereby affect the weather. He also said mirror-equipped de- vices for capturing the sun's heat for cooking and other purposes have reached a point of 30 per cent ef-| ficiency at Mount Wilson Observatory. The sun’s rays are focused on oil | tubes, which store up the heat, he said. Dr. Abbot was introduced by Leon- i ard W. DeGast the Y. M.
