Cline. a quiet-mannered scientist who has spent a lifetime studying winds, has put salt on the tail of the cyclone. He has just written a book. "’Ier‘ ieai Cycmnes." which contains more accurate information about cyclones than all the other books on the sub. ject put together. Dr. Cline is senior mateorolozist of the U. 8. weather bureau. and is in charge of the weather bureau at New Orleans. His book tells the story of every cyclone that has visited the Gulf and South Atlantic coasts of America in the last 25 years. Nothing in Name. To begin with. he announces that ii. cyclone by any other name blows Just as hard. The West inaian hur- ricane. the Chinese typhoon. the Australian willy-\vlliy‘o-all are really cyclones; that is. storm areas in which the ulnds move about the center. ‘ Di. Clines conclusions about cy- clones differ vitally from some of the heretofore accepted views. He shows. for instance. that tropical cyclones do not move spirally in. ward around the center of the storm area and there rise and radiate rap» idly outward. He also shows that in an advancing cyclone, wind veloci- ties are higher in the right half that: in the left. How They Start. Cyclones in the gulf region of the UL S.—hurrlcanes. they commonly are called—start in one of three \v‘ays. says Dr. Cline. Lateral air currents run into the tropical calm bolts. counter-currents converge on the edge of the dude winds. or lateral currents move in the some direction but with differ- ent velocities. 'In all three cases. oscoudlnglalr currents .dovelop. Water vapor in these currents cools and condensa- tion process causes heat. The heat supplies the cyclone's energy. Trade winds. blowing in early au- tumn from the east anu southeast ever the Cnrribcan sea. carry the cyclone north to the‘cosst of the United States. A Warning for the Wise. But invariably n. ‘warning goes ahead. by which the Wise may profit. Storm tides give it. They usually reach the coast from one to three to lots. lnc.. to . Wilson's Lent, Through the co-operation of the U. 5. Weather bureau with steam- ship captains. avsry ship on the sea constantly can keep in touch with the progress of any atom in its neighborhood.
