Meteorological Phenomena and Simulations

Improvements of the Navy radio meteorograph system are described and the results are given of a series of 50 simultaneous radio meteorograph and aerograph soundings under typical service conditions. The improvements have resulted in a simplified calibrating and operating procedure which affords greater accuracy of performance while at the same time increasing the allowable manufacturing tolerances. The results of the simultaneous soundings show that the radio meteorograph is sufficiently accurate to warrant its early adoption for routine use.
