Abstract :
Two new ideas involving forecasting and recording of the weather have been in the news recently. Northern shippers may soon be able to save a great deal of money each winter by availing themselves of a new technique involving infrared technology to predict when lake and sea ice will form in the fall and break up in the spring. And a push-button air-borne weather-reporting system that is designed to speed up forecasts for both military and civilian operations has been announced.
