"EQUINOCTIAL STOMAS" MYTH Have No Standing in Meteo rology, Sayt Weather Bureau Expert. Washington—TIUs Is the storm time of the year, but there are no snch things as “equinoctial storms. They are a myth and have no stand ing In meteorology, according to a statement by the American Nature association. This will shock thousands who havs carried from school days some hazy Information about “equinoc tial storms,” such as caught the Shen andoah. They are line squalls. “There la bo maximum of storm frequency according to statistics, either In this country or In Europe, dose to the date of either equinox," according to the American Nature as sociation, which publishes an extended statement on the point In Nature magazine, by C. F. Talmau of the United States weather bureau. "Of course In the long run many storms do occur about these dates, just as they occur at all other times, the writer points out, “but there Is no scientific reason for supposing their occurrence can be connected In any way with the sun’s passage over what the schoolboy described as a ‘menag erie lion running around the earth'." Looked for In Autumn. An “equinoctial" is looked for In the United States particularly in the autumn. The autumnal equinox oc curs during the season of West India hurricanes, and It occasionally hap pens that storms of this character sweep up our eastern seaboard wlth ia | week or two of the date in ques tion, extending their Influence far in land. These events have probably helped to foster the widespread belief la an autumnal equinoctial storm. "The Shenandoah was caught In a line squall,” the statement continues. “A balloon or airplane would not have been exposed to similar strain and would probably have weathered the gale. “In fact, part of the wrecked slr Aip, containing some of the gasbags, was wafted to earth 12 miles from the scene of the disaster, carrying sev eral members of the crew to a aafe landing. "The squall that caused this tragedy of the air takes its place In the cata logue of historic storms. It brought to general km>wledge the fact, pre viously little realized except by weath er men and airmen, that storms can wraak their fury by blowing vertical ly as well aa horizontally. It also naturalized the term “line-squall” In the popular vocabulary. “Violent upward and downward movements of the air prevail In all •quails and thunderstorms. This fact has been known for many years, but B has only recently assumed practical importanca. Formerly only the birds and occasional balloonists were whirled aloft or dashed downward by vertical galas, but today such galea threaten the lives of an army of aero “Squalls, like tornadoes, are of such brief duration and generally of such limited area that they defy predic tion by of the ordinary machin ery ef weather forecastlag.
