The Commercial Importance of Fog Control
The Commercial Importance of Fog Control
Geography is no longer taught as a two-dimensional subject, that is, the mere boundaries of certain surface areas. Our school geographies fifty years ago began to describe customs and manners and later chief industries, exports, etc., and so brought in the human factor. We may define geography today as all that pertains to human environment. Are we wrong in suggesting that seismology for instance comes strictly within the purview of the instructo…
Daily Maps of World Weather: An Attempt at Three-Dimensional Geography
OR half a century forecasts of weather have been based upon synoptic maps, that is, maps on which are charted simultaneous observations made over the area under jurisdiction of any one nation. Since the area charted should be as large as possible, international cooperation is needed. This is the object of the Commission for Synoptic Weather Information first organized in Igog.1 At a meeting in London, May, 1928, the Commission considered methods …

I n a study of an unusually severe winter in Northwestern Europe, that of 1879-80, M. L ion Teisserenc de Bort proposed the terms Centers of Action. (See his Memoirs Etude sur l’hiver de 1879-80, Ann. du Bur. Cent . Me‘te‘or. de France, IY, 1881). He called them grand centers of action, best translated by our word large, and described them as extensive slow moving abnormal pressure areas. These, we now clearly recognize as dominating weather, sin…

Saving the Crops from Injury by Frost
A penny saved is twice earned said Franklin, and one can not help wondering what that wise old gentleman would say today about food conservation and especially the problem of saving crops from injury by frost. Throughout Christendom at the present moment the uppermost topic of discussion is food. Apparently the outcome of this great war will be largely determined by the supply of food. In our own land as well as in other lands every effort has be…
