Harvard's pioneer experimentation with automatic radio meteorograph balloons, for upper air soundings, after three years has resulted in widespread use of such instruments for regular weather observations, Professor Charles F. Brooks, director of the Blue Hill Observatory, of Harvard, said yesterday in his annual report...
...find an easier, more certain, and less expensive way to sound the atmosphere has been accomplished, and much sooner than we expected, when in 1935 we designed and used the first American radio-meteorograph," Dr. Brooks said...
...useful for night observations, as it has been for over a year in the day time, the radio balloon meteorograph becomes the best instrument for securing routine data of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure in the upper air. With an upper ceiling of 15 to 20 miles, the free balloon reaches much greater heights than weather airplanes. Its readings are transmitted automatically by short wave radio to a receiver on the ground, where the conditions are recorded on a revolving drum...
...Dewey and Almy Chemical Company, whose chosen title is "Up in the Air--Exploring the Stratosphere with Instrument Carrying Balloons." Charles F. Brooks '11, Director of the Blue Hill Observatory, will speak on the meteorological aspect of such experiments, K. O. Lange will explain and demonstrate the radio meteorograph, and A. E. Bent will talk on radio. Other speakers will include Robert Ridgway, prominent civil engineer of New York; Lewis J. Johnson, Professor of Civil Engineering; and R. H. Watson, vice-president of United States Steel and president of the Society...
...radio-meteorograph operated by a clock has been sent up frequently in a Weather Bureau airplane from East Boston airport since last April. Although flights were discontinued for a time because of two crashes in foggy weather, they have been recently resumed. A clear and immediate record of conditions as high as the plane goes is now received at Blue Hill...
