PAGE EIGHT Satellite Begins New Forecasting Era By JOEL MYERS The launching of the Van guard weather satellite on Feb. 17 was the beginning of a new era in the field of weather research and fore-' casting. It was the first of many steps to be taken in an effort to improve the forecast ing accuracy of the meteorolo gist. F'or the past. sixty years, the; meteorologist has been basing his! weather predictions on a weather) map. This map is a composite pie-i ture of individual weather phe nomena observed at various weather stations which are scat teied throughout the Northern Hemisphere, While the weather map is a necessity in preparing a forecast, the amount of time necessary to compile it puts the foieeaster at a definite disadvan tago. One of the major obstacles facing the weather forecaster is time. Weather events are con stantly changing, sometimes very rapidly, and the time need ed to transmit, plot and analyze the weather data might be enough to make the forecast obsolete by the time it is issued to the public. Weather satellites appear to be the eventual solution to the time problem. By a network of weath er satellites to relay weather data back to earth in a continual stream, the weather forecaster will be immediately aware of any important weather changes. The first weather satellite will not be of any immediate use to the weather prognosticator, but will act as a pioneer in establish ing certain basic relationships. This first weather observation sta tion in space will send back a continual barrage of cloud infor mation for all parts of the earth. It has two photo cells which op erate somewhat like a wirephoto transmitter. It scans the earth's surface distinguishing between the light areas, clouds and the dark areas, land and water, This information, in the form of a Brooks Selects Frosh Board Robin Brooks, president of the freshman class, has made 62 ap pointments to the Freshman Ad vi'ory Board.

In the next ten years the government will pr ob ably launch several more ear t h. circling satellites which will re lay instantaneous reports of temperature, clouds and humid ity. These reports, coming in from all parrs of the world, will lead to much more accurate weather forecasts. The reason for this is simple. At the present time the weather forecaster lacks sufficient reports from the vast expanse of the Pa cific and Atlantic Oceans, which often result in a misinterpreta tion of the weather map. Of par ticular interest along this line is the tropical storm, These storms, which take the shape of hurri canes in the Atlantic and typhoons ,-,o*---,: - - ' , i -- . , „. i , 1 1 ,- , ...0 i THE TAREYTON RING MARKS THE REALTHING!

PENNSYLVANIA in the Pacific, often form so far from any land area that they may be present for a few days before they are detected. If these storms could be discovered in their earl ier stages, some knowledge of their origin and future movement might be ascertained. Another benefit which will be derived from these satellites will be the improvement of man's knowledge of the atmos pheric circulation patterns and thus the destruction of some of the barriers that bar his way to long-range weather forecasting. While the first weather ' satel lite won't cause any drastic im proyements in man's weather forecasting ability, it is a fore runner to scientific advances in the science of meteorology that might, someday, cause the daily ' forecast to read like a TV sched ule. Ex-Michigan Coach To Be Sportscaster ANN ARBOR, Mich. (A)—Ben nie Oosterbaan, whose football career at the University of Mich igan covered 35 years as a player and coach, will add another chap ter next fall when he becomes a sportscaster at Michigan football games. Oosterbaan said he has reached agreement with a Detroit station to do the radio color commentary on Michigan's home - and - away games. He said the program will not be carried by a network. Oosterbaan retired Jan. 1 as Michigan's head football coach. He now is public relations co ordinator for the Michigan athletic department.
