KIMBALL AND FASSIG TO SURVEY WEATHER HERE

Meteological research of foremost scientific importance will be carried on at Harvard's Blue Hill Weather Observatory in Readville by two new associates of the Observatory, it was announced yesterday. Doctors O. L. Fassig and H. E. Kimball, both outstanding American meteorologists formerly associated with the United States Weather Bureau in Washington, will conduct the research under the supervision of C. F. Brooks '12, professor of Meteorology and Director of the Observatory.

The investigations which will be carried forward by Dr. Fassig, former chief of the climatological division of the United States Weather Bureau, concerns largely factors affecting tropical climate. A complication and analysis of ten years' observations of winds at various levels over San Juan, Puerto Rico, which may result in greater predictability of hurricanes and tropical storms, is one of the most important of Dr. Fassig's investigations.

Study Sun's Effect

Dr. Kimball, considered America's leading radiation meteorologist, will study the effect of changes in the sun on weather and climate. The recent eclipse provided much data for special studies of solar and sky radiation, which he will complete this year at Harvard. Dr. Kimball is president of the American Meteorological Society, and has received international recognition for his contributions to the science of solar radiation.

Dr. Fassig, as one of the most noted of American climatologists, was recently selected as one of the two members from the United States to serve on the International Climatological Commission. He has made a distinguished and comprehensive investigation of the inter-relationship between temperature, rainfall, and wind pressure on the Atlantic Ocean and the North American continent during the past 50 years.
