Ocean Weather Stations
The ocean weather-station network, maintained in the Atlantic by several nations jointly, is expected to be complete next June, according to advice received from the International Civil Aviation Organisation in Montreal. There are already eight weather stations in use, and the full complement will be 13. They will provide meteorological reporting services in the area and serve as communication relay points and search and rescue bases for aircraft flying between Europe and North America. At least two ships are required to maintain each station.
