The Weather uureaa . already Is
lining up new weapon let the
autumn hurricane war--. 'and
piling up Mine others which, were
not completely lesieo . jo last
year's comparatively mlhf leaso
for the killer storms.
Bureau scientists say they . ex
pect to issue more specific- ad
visories than in previous years,
including the last big hurricane
year of 195S. That year more than
a billion dollars In damage and
1,500 deaths, including III in the
continental United States, were
caused by near-record 10 howl
ers from out of the tropical dol
drums. Bureau men . are expecting to
arrow down their warning to an
average of 300, miles of coastal
length, compared with about Soo
average two yean ago.. ;
Last year, only two hurricanes
actually threatened the continen
tal United Stales, and only one
of them Flossie actually
struck. .
Meatkly Stateawat Caaaidered
Bureau scientists are even ex
ploring the possibility of issuing
a statement as much as a month
in advance of the "general prob
ability" of hurricanes affecting a
particular coastal area. -
Current research Is based oii
promising experience during the
last few years with 30-day out
looks lor weatner conditions in
general. Up to now, these outlooks
have not attempted -to forecast
hurricane poesJbUitles. - -i
But bureau scientists have been
analyzing past outlooks for hurri
cane months, ' comparing them
with conditions observed during
actual., hurricane. They have
even made a few experimental
trial runs during a hurricane Va
son. ,
They say, however, that results,
while promising, require exten
sive analysis before any decision
can be reached on whether such
technique could be placed in
operational use this year, if in
deed at an.
The new weapons that definitely
will be available this year might
seem like puny armament against
these huge revolving storms that

The. new device consists oK.u
' 1. Instruments for measuring
winds speed and direction right at
the water's edge as distin
guished from gadgets which rec
ord these items at stations locat
ed farther inland.
It has been" found that a dis
tance of 10 miles from the coast'
can make a difference of 30 miles
an hour less in recorded wind
speed, but that is only an appar
ent drop as respects the over-all
fury of the storm and therefore
gives a false idea. Topography of
the land accounts in part for such
differences in readings.
So a line of 90 new water-edge
recorders will be installed this
spring and summer all the way
from Brownsville, Tex., to Port
land, Me.
Remete-Caalrel Tidal Caagea . ...
1. A new system of remote-con
trol tidal gauges will be installed
at various points along the Gulf
and Atlantic coasts. They will pro
vide a continuous record of water-
level heights to weather fore
casters at stations located some
distance from the ocean's edge.
The "hold - over," mostly un
tried weapons of last 'year, con
sist mainly of two giant long-
range radars at San Juan, Puerto
Rico, and Nantucket, Mass.,
plus some relatively recent re
search findings- on the antics 'of
nurricanes. f
The radar's 300-mile range is
credited with:' having helped
greatly toward issuing a warning
to the island more than 30 hours
before the storm struck and a
more specific' watch-out-for-your
life-and-property warning some IS
flour before the winds hit.
If the bureau ultimately decides
to put out special long-range hur
ricane forecasts, theje would add
to the agency's growing list of
special forecasts, ranging - from
fruit frost predictions to tiro
weather outlooks, and from fore
cast for cranberry growers to
special snow forecasts to help
mow removal planners.
