Annual Report, Meteorological OfficeTHE annual report of the Director of the Meteorological Office, presented by the Meteorological Committee to the Air Council, for the year endedMarch 31, 1930, has just been issued. This report describes the activities of the Meteorological Office during the seventy-fifth year of its existence andthe tenth year in which its cost has been borne on Air Ministry votes. The year was one of great activity in international co-operation and, as well asmeetings of several commissions, the report includes accounts of three important conferences—the International Conference on the Safety of Life atSea, which met in London during April and May, 1929, the Conference of Empire Meteorologists in London in August, and the International Conferenceof Directors of Meteorological Services at Copenhagen in September. These conferences led amongst other things to the recognition of marine meteorologyin international treaties, to a radical improvement in the interchange of meteorological data throughout the world, and to a much closer connectionbetween the meteorological services of the British Empire. In the actual work of the office during the year outstanding features were the adoption bythe Forecast and Aviation Services on March 1, 1930, of the new inter- national code for the transmission of meteorological messages, which wasapproved at the Conference of Directors at Copenhagen, and the arrangements made by the Airship Services Division in connection with the trials of H.M.Airships R.101 and R.100.
