Abstract
MEETINGS were held in London during the week ending on Friday, September 20, of two Commissions constituted by the International Meteorological Committee to deal with questions concerning international weather telegraphy on the one hand, and with those concerning mari-time meteorology and storm warnings on the other. The Commissions were first provisionally appointed at the meeting of the International Committee held in Paris in 1907; they held meet-ings in London in June, 1909, and upon their report to the meeting of the International Com-mittee held at Berlin in 1910, it was decided to recommend to the meteorological institutes of Europe to substitute a reading of the “barometric tendency” (the change of pressure in the three hours preceding the morning observation) for the reading of the wet-bulb thermometer in the international code. A scheme of storm signals for daylight, using two cones, was also recom-mended as an international system.
