"TEST M 1 CHECK YOUR CAR MEDFOfiD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Science Experts Fix Danger Point for Flying In Thunderstorms Even Radar Can't Proyida Safety By Paul F. Ellii t United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Two ex perts in meteorology have deter mined that the "danger point" for airplanes going through a thunderstorm is between 15,000 and 25,000 feet. The finding is reported by Hor ace R. Byers of the University of Chicago and Roscoe B. Bra ham of the U. S. weather bureau, in a new book, "The Thunder storm." The report is regarded as important, since many of the new-type planes with pressurized cabins fly in the 15,000 to 25,-000-foot range. Byers and Braham sum up the results in three years of research In the government supported "thunderstorm" project. They disclosed that more than 179 thunderstorms in Ohio and Flor ida were studied by radar, sound ing balloons and airplane-borne instruments. Radar Beit Weapon The authors said radar is avia tion's best weapon against the menace of the thunderstorm, but that even with radar equipment, pilots never should fly over 10. 000 feet in a thunderstorm if it can be avoided, especially with passengers. Thev said thunderstorms aver age 37,500 feet in height; that they are shaped like a rosebud and cover the greatest area at 10. 000 feet; that the area is half as great at 20.000 but that the safest area of all Is below 10,000 feet. The meteorologists found that radar beams can detect either the water droplets or the ice crys tals in a cumulous cloud from which the thunderstorm is born at the very moment either starts developing. Using the informa tion, which the pilot gets 20 miles in advance, he can plan his flight and avoid thunderstorm dangers, it was pointed out. "Upiida Down" Rain The book, published by the U. S. government printing office, also reports that it can rain "up side down" within a thunder storm. The phenomena, it was ex olained, occurs when rain drops fall in one part and strong tip drafts may be carrying the rain drops in another high Into the air, and beyond the point of freezing. The weather study further showed that any given thunder storm may have separate cells. In one thunderstorm, they re ported, the entire storm covered an area 20 miles long and five to WM) OF THE LOW-PRICE DRIVE" THE AT YOUR FORD DEALER' So economical to buv.,.and to ownf MOTORS, Inc. CHECK ACCIDENTS at Work eight miles wide. They said there were six recognizable cells in the storm, each three to eight miles across. The area between the cells, though cloudy, showed little turbulence. The storm cloud, the authors said, reaches its peak altitude just when the lightning is the greatest. As the cloud begins to drop, the lightning ceases. "Adult Life" of Cloud The "adult stage" of the storm cloud. It was found, usually con tinues from 15 minutes to half an hour. During that time the storm is at its worst, with the most rain falling and the light ning at its peak. Meanwhile, the gusty winds from the down drafts blow the hardest. The "dissipating stage" of the storm usually lasts half an hour, the report showed. Sometimes, however, the cell may break up into layers of clouds and light rain may fall for a longer period of time. Don Fawcett Slightly Injured in Car Crash Corvallis, Ore., May 13 (U.R) A near-disastrous automobile ac cident invloving four Oregon State college baseball players Saturday morning failed to stop the Beavers as they joined team mates in Eugene to defeat the University of Oregon, 6-3, in a northern division game. The four Orange athletes, foot ball star Ken Carpenter, Seaside; Gene Tanselli. Portland; Don Fawcett, Medford; and Bill Harp er. Walnut Creek, Cat., suffered only minor injuries when the car in which they were riding col lided with another vehicle six miles south of Junction City on Highway 99. Tanselli and Fawcett, both reg ulars on the team, suffered only bruises and played in the Oregon game. Harper, who collected four hits in five trips to the plate against the Webfoots Friday, was treated for scalp lacerations in Eugene. Carpenter, driving the Oregon State car, suffered bruises and did not suit up for the game. Carpenter was all-coast halfback last fall and recently accepted a bid to play in the college all-star professional game at Chicago in August, Bison now number about 4,000 on fenced rangeland of a few northwestern states.
