Abstract
IN 1949, I reported1 finding a positive correlation between meson intensity at sea-level and the temperature of the air layer limited by the 200 and 100 mb. isobars. Lower layers appeared to have no appreciable contribution to this positive effect. Further measurements made lately by using a similar triple-coincidence arrangement with lead absorber have entirely confirmed these results.
