METEOROLOGIST SAYS SOLAR RADIATION VARIATIONS AFFECT WEATHER
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On May 3, 1925, The Sunday Star reports that H.H. Clayton*, speaking to the American Society of Meteorologists meeting here in the Nation's Capital yesterday, explained that the hotter the sun gets the colder it is in Washington.
Mr. Clayton, a former weather forecaster for the Argentine government and now associated with the Smithsonian Institution, presented the "revolutionary theory" that holds that high and low pressure areas in the atmosphere resulting in weather changes "are the result of solar radiation variations."
Mr. Clayton said...
"We constantly are finding more and more correlations between the variations from the solar constant and the actual weather that follows."
*Henry Helm Clayton (1861-1946) was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee & became a meteorologist & weather forecaster working at the University of Michigan & Harvard University. HHC researched the effects of solar variation on world weather patterns 1923-1926.
