Keeping A Weather-Eye Open -- Two important links in the chain of weather forecasting exchange greetings at a point 600 miles out in the Atlantic from Greenock, Scotland. Riding the heavy Atlantic seas is a former Navy corvette, now the meteorological ship "Weather Observer." Above her are seen the aircrews of demand-sugar, a Royal Air Force Halifax employed on the same task - weather observance. Each day at noon, ship and aircraft meet to exchange information by radio before the aircraft heads back to its base at Aldergrove, Northern Ireland. January 19, 1949.
