Abstract
IN the Professional Note of the Meteorological Office, Air Ministry, referred to in NATURE of April 24 in a Research Item (p. 721) on the ” Variation of Wind with Height” at Wadi Haifa, Mr. J. Durward remarks upon an apparent discrepancy of nearly 70° between observation and theory when the results of observations of the winds by means of pilot balloons between 10,000 ft. and 13,000 ft. are compared with the run of the isobars at 4,000 metres as shown on Teisserenc de Bort's map.
