DISTRIBUTION OF METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION BY RADIO SERVICE.

It is announced by the U.S. Weather Bureau that beginning 15th July, 1913, a daily weather bulletin will be distributed broadcast by the naval radio stations at Radio, Va., and Key West, Fla., a few minutes after 10 p.m. each day. The broadcast distribution will be exclusively by the naval radio stations above named, but all other naval radio stations will continue to distribute meteorological information and forecasts as at present.

The daily bulletin will consist of two parts. The first part will contain code letters and figures which will express the actual weather conditions at 8 p.m., 75th meridian time, on the day of distribution at certain points along the eastern coast of North America, one point along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and one point at Bermuda. The second part of the bulletin will contain a special forecast of the probable winds to be experienced a hundred miles or so offshore, made by the U.S. Weather Bureau for distribution to shipmasters by naval radio as above. The second part of the bulletin will also contain warnings of severe storms along the coast as occasion may arise.

The points for which weather conditions will be furnished will be designated respectively by their initial letter, except in the case of Nantucket, for which the letter T will be used; accordingly, S = Sydney, T = Nantucket, A = Atlantic City, H = Hatteras, C = Charleston, K = Key West, P = Pensacola, and B = Bermuda.

The bulletin will begin with the letters U S W B for U.S. Weather Bureau, and the weather conditions will follow. The first three figures of a report will represent the barometric pressure in inches (0·02=30·02); the next figure, the fourth in sequence, will represent the direction of the wind to eight points of the compass: 1 = north, 2 = north-east, 3 = east, 4 = south-east, 5 = south, 6 = south-west, 7 = west, 8 = north-west, 0 = calm. The fifth figure will represent the force of the wind on the Beaufort scale.
