FLYING IN CLOUDS
(British Official Wireless.)
Yarying Conditions METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES
(Received 25, 8.45 a.m.) RUGBY, Sept. 23. The Direetor of the Meteorological Office states that the rapid expansion of the meteorological services required by the Air Force and Civil Aviation, necessitating the traming of a large number of meteorological personnel, is proeeeding. The increasing amount of flying done in and ahove the clouds has raised new meteorological prqblems, as the winds • likely to be met in those regions may be very different from those near the surface. Moreover the probability of meeting ice-forming conditions within the clouds themselves has to be estimated and warninge issued. All this demands a much highef degree of skill on the part of the meteorological personnel. A scheme has been prepared, based - on the arrangement of .the meteorological stations in groups consisting of main stations and dependent stations, the former liaving a day and night staff of forecasters. No distinction will be made between civil and military aerodromes.
