Abstract
“WIRELESS WEATHER MESSAGES, 1937” (Publication M.O. 252, tenth edition. London: H.M. Stationery Office. Is. 6d. net) has the sub-title “Particulars of Meteorological Reports issued by wireless telegraphy and wireless telephony in Great Britain, Gibraltar, Malta, Middle East and Iraq”, and this defines its scope. It incorporates changes in some of the specifications of the International Code used for meteorological messages that were adopted at the International Meteorological Conference held at Warsaw in September 1935, changes which came into operation on January 1, 1937. There are two sections giving, respectively, details of the codes used for weather forecasts for aviators and details of the codes used for messages giving special information supplementary to routine reports for aviation. These sections follow the main body of the publication dealing with the main transmissions from shore stations and ships. In spite of some economy of space that has been introduced in setting out the details of individual transmissions, this publication now contains about ninety pages, and its growth in recent years corresponds with that of aviation and of the international exchange of meteorological information.
