" The Measurement of Upper Wind Velocities by Observations of Artificial Clouds "* THIS paper gives the theory and practical details of the method of obtaining upper wind velocities from observations of clouds in a mirror. The apparent path of a cloud is traced on the surface of a Hill mirror, and from the length of the trace on the mirror the wind velocity _ at the height of the cloud is computed by simple multiplication by the use of a table of factors given in the text. Ihe method was first used with shell-bursts during the war, but the paper describes how it has been extended to include observations of clouds discharged from aeroplanes, lables are given to enable the pilot to correct his height to tne necessary degree for any readings of his altimeter and thermo- meter. The method is extremely simple in use. Copies ot the paper can be obtained at all branches of His Majesty s Stationery Office, or through any bookseller. - ' Meteorological Office Publication, by C.
