Meter eologists Study Sun Spots .
In Hope of Forecasting Weather j
From the Chicago Journal of Commerce
Of an importance beyond all estimate is the theory which
ivell-known scientists assert to be true, that the weather of the
earth is affected by sun-spots and that a study of these spots will
permit long-distance weather forecasting.
Business would be affected immeasurably by such forecasting.
The growers of crops would be immensely benefited. Men at
tea and on inland waters would be enabled to avoid great storms.
Man knows the weather as a whimsical power, coming and
going as it wills. If he could only foresee how and when it will
tome and go, his life would be made much easier.
Nor would this be the sum of his benefit. If wo should learn
how sun-spots affect the weather, is it not conceivable that we
should succeed in learning how to offset the evil effects of the
sun-spots? Artificial control of the weather would seem to be*by
no means impossible.
Sponsor for the sun-spot theory is Dr. C. G. Abbot, head of
the Astro-Physical Observatory of the Smithsonian institution.
As he presents it, it is more than a theory; it is a demonstrated
fact. Dr. Abbot reveals that for more than a year the Smithson
ian institution has been conducting experiments which have per
mitted accurate weather forecasts for New York to be made three
days in advance. According to Dr. Abbot, approximate tempera
tures have been accurately predicted for periods of from fifteen
to twenty-five days ahead.
Although Dr. C. F. Marvin, head of the weather bureau, be
lieves the results of the Smithsonian experiments are so far too in
conclusive to permit their use in the making of regular weather
forecasts, Dr. Abbot finds nothing inconclusive in the experi
ments.
Every day the Smithsonian institution receives telegraphed
reports from two sun observatories which have been established,
one on Mount Harqua, Hale, Arizona, the other at Montezuma,
near Calama, Chile. By use of recently devised instruments, Dr.
Abbot says it has been possible to measure solar radiation.
These measurements, as well as daily observations of sun
spots, are telegraphed to the Smithsonian institution, which has
found that the curves of solar radiation have a definite relation to
temperature and barometric pressure. The effects are not the
same everywhere on the earth. The institufiQn declares the earth
has two zones, on one of which the effects of the curves of solar
radiation are precisely opposite to the effects of those same curves
in the other zone.
The authenticity of these statements is of course not beyond
dispute. But the statements have been made by leading men of
science and are worthy of serious attention.
