Meteorologist
To Give Talk
Technologist Will Discuss
New Scientifie Methods
At Iackham _Gathering
Rosshy Is Authority
Dr. Carl G. Rossby of the Institute
of Meteorology, University of Chi-
cago, will lecture on "Recent Devel-
opments in the Science of Meteor-
ology" at 4:15 p.m. Thursday in the
Rackham Amphitheatre.
Sponsored by the Departments of
Astronomy, Geography,.and Gelogy,
Dr. Rossby is one of the best known
theoretical meteorologists in the
country, and an excellent practical
meteorologist as well.
Worked Under Bjkernes
Born and educated in Sweden, Dr.
Rossby worked under B. V. Bkernes
as a junior meteorologist on the west
coast of Norway. During the first
World War Dr. Rossby was in charge
of the meteorological service of Nor-
way. And when Norway was cut off
from the rest of the world, Dr. Ross-
by, working theoretically, studied the
northern storms and came to the
conclusion that there is a definite
difference between northern and
southern air currents.
In 1923, after working with the
Swedish Government Service, Dr.
Rossby came to the United States
where he became chairman of the
Daniel Guggenheim Institute of Aer-
onautical Meteorology. He later es-
tablished the first meteorological
service for an air line between San
Francisco and Los Angeles.
When the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology opened a department
of meteorology in 1928, Dr. Rossby
joined the faculty as an associate
professor and head of the depart-
ment. He also served as a research
associate at the Woodshole Institute
of Oceanology, specializing in turbu-
lance work.
Given Reed Award
Dr. Rossby was given the Reed
Award by the American Institute of
Aeronautical Sciences in 1934, and
in 1941 was appointed director of the
Institute of Meteorology at Chicago
University.
In addition to this work, Dr. Ross-
by is assistant chief of the United
States Weather Bureau and is con-
nected with the training of meteor-
ologists for the Weather Bureau.
The majority of his work has been
as a theoretical meteorologist, study-
ing the polar areas and atmospheric
turbulance.

New Course Trains Men
For Photography' Work
And Moasic Construction
By H. J. SLAUTTERBACK
As aerial photography assumes new
war-time importance, the University
meets the need for trained techni-
cians in this field with a special de-
fense course.
Pointing to the separate photo-
graphic division of the national air
corps, Prof. Edward Young, of the
geodesy department, director of the
course said in a recent interview that
modern war strategy is dependent to
a tremendous extent upon photo-
graphic maps and mosaics. "It is al-
most impossible for the average ci-
vilian to know how important this
behind the lines function has become
in the years since the first World
War," he said.1
Importance Noted
"We must locate the enemy, detect
their camouflage devices and plan
our own troop movements through
the use of aerial photography."
When asked to explhin methods
used to correlate and interpret pho-
tographs made from the air, Pro-
fessor Young said that two methods
of correlation are commonly used.
"Very often," he said, "the photo-
graphs are used to prepare common
topographical maps which are fam-
iliar to any stuident of geography."
These are used primarily to plan
troop movements and to determine
strategy.
Professor Young explained, how-
ever, that the photographs are more
frequently used as mosaics, to show
the actual contour of the land as
well as placement of factories, air-
ports, or enemy fortifications. "It is
these mosaics which are used to de-
tect camouflage tactics," he said.
Special Equipment Used
For interpretation of mosaics spec-
ial stereographic equipment has been
perfected. "Aerial cameras are now
often equipped to make double ex-
posures at slightly different angles
so that the two views necessary for

stereoscopic use can be taken simul-
taneously." Professor Young added.
He said that the methods used in
photographing from the air are so
varied and depend so muchlupon spe-
cial conditions and needs that an ex-
planation of any single technique is
impossble. However, he explained
that photographs are usually taken
at intervals of a few seconds, and
