...both within and without the Weather Bureau since that time. It was used in forecasting for a model airway in California a decade ago by the U. S. Weather Bureau and Guggenheim Foundation, and has been employed a dozen years by the U. S. Navy. Thus although this method of forecasting has only recently been brought largely to the public notice, it was well known to meteorologists and used in this country long before 1932, the year in which you say it was started here...
