WEATHER MAP ANALYSES
Radio Transmission For U.S. Naw
Equipment would soon be set up in Auckland and Christchurch by the United States Navy for broadcasting weather map analyses by radio facsimile—the transmission of pictures by radio—said the senior staff meteorologist with the United States Navy at Harewood (Commander William Lanterman) yesterday. Commander Lanterman said the Navy hoped to begin using the system on February 1. With the radio facsimile system weather map pictures could be radioed between Australia, New Zealand and United States ships between New Zealand and the Antarctic continent Although the system was being installed primarily for the United States Antarctic operation, it would be available to the New Zealand meteorological service, he said.
Radio facsimile was being used more extensively in the United States now, said Commander Lanterman. Information was collected from all over the country, analysed in Washington, and distributed in weather-map form from .there. *
