an end of the weather forecast-

Now, for the duration, Ma-

strategist. He has put his ex-
perience, his time and his files
at the service of the air forces.
And today, from a weather cen-

in advance favorable or unfav-
orable conditions for America’s

HOW WEATHER IS
USED AS A WEAPON
How secrets of long-range
weather forecasting, by which
some of Hitler’s greatest victor-
ies were timed, are being used
by our air forces.
Weather today is a weapon
of war—just as much so as the
airplane or the tank. In fact,
these modern war machines
cannot be used to anything like
their full capacity without the
aid of the new scientific wea-
ther forecasting.
Forecasters today can predict
the weather for each theater
of war. It will rain in Madagas-
car next Tuesday. The monsoon
will begin to abate over Burma
on Wednesday. Off Murmansk
it will clear on Thursday. The
American forces in Iceland
can expect heavy fog and low-
hanging clouds for the end of
the week. Such forecasts, re-
layed to the operations staff
on each war front, can be of
primary importance in deciding
high strategy. We are develop-
ing today one of the best wea-
ther centrals in the world.
The Germans have been us-
ing this new weather weapon
all along. Thanks to it, they
got the battleships Scharnhorst
English Channel in the teeth
of Britain’s land-based air
strength. That feat startled the

Soldiers’ Fires
A-Burning
• Uncle Sam had an order to
place for wood last week to be
loaded on express cars, an order
to be filled anywhere between
Houston and Brenham.
The old gent with the whis-
kers did not have any luck un-
til he got around to Sealy, and
here, Joe Peters, like a good
soldier, got his trucks in ac-
tion and spent the night filling
the two express cars.
Cooking for the soldiers in

and for this job they use wood.

world, but actually there was
nothing surprising about it.
It had been planned weeks, per-
haps even months, to happen
exactly as it did.
Our own long-range weather
forecasters know the method
of thus “delivery” military
weather. Until a few years ago,
forecasting was done from cur-
rent weather maps which made
it possible to estimate condi-
tions 24 or at most 36 hours
in advance. Today we have
long-range forecasting, based
on knowledge of the movements
of the great surface air masses
—polar and tropical— and
those of the upper air, which
move from year to year with a
certain regularity; irregulari-
ties can be estimated with a
fair degree of accuracy.
The technique has been car-
ried far enough to permit mili-
tary men to use weather as
both an offensive and a defen-
sive weapon.
There is a possibility that a
unified weather central may
make all forecasts for army op-
erations. An enthusiastic back-
er of the new weather tech-
nique is Lieutenant General
H. H. Arnold, Commanding
General of the Army Air For-
ces.
