Nome Weather Station Gets
New Equipment and Personnel
Disguised as an old fashioned
circus balloon ascension the lat
est device for recording weather
in the upper atmosphere has
•been leaving the roof of the Fed
eral Building nightly at 6:30 p.
m. for the last few days.
As an important observation
j point in a rapidly developing
! Alaskan Weather Service the
Nome Weather Bureau has, und
er the able direction of Official
in Charge, Arnold E. McKenzie,
more than doubled in personnel
| and equipment since his arrival
last October.
Radiosonde observations, the
most recent addition to the Nome
weather program were begun
last Saturday evening with the
release of the first radio equip
ped balloon. Carrying a minia
ture radio transmitter, these bal
loons, which are about eight feet
in diameter when inflated, as
cend to a height of ten miles or
more. The tiny transmitter,
weighing about one pound, trans
mits a continuous signal on its
flight aloft, which when received
and recorded by special ground
equipment gives a record of tem
perature, pressure and humidity
of the air strata through which
it passes.
In the rarified air aloft, the
large helium inflated balloon fin
ally reaches its bursting point
and the transmitter drops to
earth by means of an attached
parachute. If it should happen
to be found, the finder is entitl
ed to a reward for its return to
the local weather office. Instruc
tions for returning these instru
ments are attached to each one
on release.
In addition to Official in Char
ge, Mr. McKenzie, the local Wea
ther Bureau roster at present in
cludes Leonard Hedine, Senior
Observer; L. P. Leech. Observer
and Forecaster; J. Norman John
son, Assistant Observer and
Radiosonde Operator, Clyde Bak
er, Assistant Observer; and
Charles Haegle. Junior Observer.
The SS Oduna of the Alaska
Line is scheduled to sail from
Nome for Golovin St. Michael
j and Unalakleet. Following dis
charging of cargo at east coast
ports the Oduna will return to
Nome before sailing on the re
turn trip to Seattle.
