L. Grannas. NEW FORECASTING SYSTEM SUGGESTED By WILLIAM W. CHANCE. Jr.

Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, July old weather bugaboo that disrupt golfing dates, family picnic plans and ands of other out-of-doors engagements is doomed. if the prediction of H. H. Clayton in current publication of the Smithsonian Institution is substantiated.

Clayton foresees a revolutionary method of ol weather forecasting by means of the periodic vibrations of the sun and atmosphere, producing accurate calculations for weeks and possibly months in advance. Testa of his theory, he claims, have proved it 64 per cent correct. "If my conclusions are verifled and accepted by other research workers, AB I feel they must be'in time." writes Clayton, "it will mean a revolution in present methods weather forecasting. "The forecasting of pressure and I temperature will be made in much the Hame way that ocean tides are now predicted, except that the periods used will solar periods rather than lunar perlods, and will need to be treated in 8 special way owing to changes in phase and amplitude. "Processes will be simplilled and machinery like the tidal machine will be introduced in order to handle the Immense amount of data which will be needed for world-wide forecasts, or even for forecasts over a large Areu like the United States." Clayton shows that pulses in the sun's radiation are attended by variations in atmospheric pressure which increase the contrasts in pressure and speed up the circulation of the atmosphere, When solar activity Increases, the pressure falls in tho equatorial region, rises in middle latitudes, and falls in the polar regions.

Clayton uses these periodic vibrations in the sun and atmosphere, in his method of forecasting. An analysis of such perlodic terms in the weather at any point on the earth would make it possible to project, the periodic terms ahead to any of desired, according to' Clayton.
