LIFE IN A TECHNICALLY advanced society like ours is increasingly dependent on an understanding of atmospheric behavior. Food, travel, recreation, commerce—these and many other major aspects of the daily duties of men are strongly affected by the vicissitudes of weather and climate. Even the subtle joys of life turn upon wind and storm, as with the smell of rain in a wheat field, the flowers on a mountain hillside, the beauty of a sunset or even the opportunity to see a sunset at all.
