Radar Set Used
In Weather Studies
Eveiy sprinkle of nun that falls within 80 miles of State
College can be located by means of a powerful Army radar
set which is being used lor weather lesearch by Dr. Charles
Hosier, associate professor of meteorology.
The radar, which is the most precise and powerful
weather tracking set in tie Unit
ed States, is being used In de
temune the effect of the topog
raphy of the Central Appalachians
on die formation and mnvi merit
of air mass showers.
The radar set is a mobile unit
which is hauled- by four tuulor
trucks The set, which includes
a built-in computer and a Hack
ing device, is valued at 5750,000
Whenever rain is falling in
Central Pennsylvania, the ra
dar is in operation and Hosier
or one of his assistants can be
found in front of the tracking
screen.
Pictures of the'radar screen arc
taken by a Polaroid camera and
they are compaied with weather
maps that are plotted on Ihe ba
sis of Weather Bureau ob .crea
tions that are taken at \ai ous lo
cations in Central Penn \ lvnrna
The factors that determine the
generation and proposition ol
showers are quite complex and
much is still to be lei'iivl aboiii
Ihem. Hosier believes that the
tui bulence created as iur flows
over a mountain ridge is one of
these factors.
He also believes the lortir.st in
temperature between the sunny
and shady sides of a mountain as
well as the differences between
green areas and barren slopes
pi - v an important role.
As it rises, he tracks it by means
of the radar. By simply observ
ing the baloon rise and plotting
the various positions he can de
termine the upper level winds.
In order to determine the upper
level winds in all kinds of weath
er, Hosier developed a rather
unique method. He ties some or
dinary aluminum foil to a weath
er baloon and then launches it. •

Atherton St.
Will Be
Widened
About 50 S. Atherton St.
residents filed glumly out of
the Borough Council meeting
Monday night after losing
their fight to preserve S. Ath
erton as a two-lane street.
The council accepted the traf
fic commission’s recommendation
that the street have two south
bound lanes and one north-bound
lane a's it has in the past three
month tuai-penod.
The major changes asked by
the commission were the widen
ing of the two south-bound lanes
from 9>2 to 10’ 2 feet and the re
moval of parking on both the east
and west sides.
The Atherton street residents]
went before council last night to
.voice their objections on the
grounds that the speeding cars
on the streets were safety hazards
and it gieatly decreased property
value.
Stanley J. Wetntraub, instructor
in English Literature, said the
plan “creates more hazards than
it alleviates” and it would ruin
anv chance the borough had of
obtaining a by-pass for Rt. 322
around State College. South Ath
erton St. is a state highway. He
urged that the plan be rejected
and immediate steps be taken to
get the by-pass.
Two council members, Mrs
Gladys G. Tanner and John C.
O’Connor voted against the traffic
