METEOROLOGICAL MAP: Curved lines on the map above show the change in weather as cloud and air masses shift from one part of the country to the other. Chief meteorologist Ernest Williams (left) checks up on the map in his tiny office atop the air terminal with Mrs. Doris Schrock of Inkster, who is a meteorological aide. This is the U. S. Weather Station from which The Ann Arbor News now gets its weather information. Forecasts are made in advance up to 48 hours.

Ernest B. Williams, Willow Run Airport Meteorologist, February 1948

Year:

Published In:

Caption:
HE KNOWS IF IT WILL BE CLOUDY OR FAIR TOMORROW: Upon the shoulders of this man, Ernest B. Williams of Plymouth, rests the responsibility of charting and predicting the weather at the airport. Williams is the meteorologist in charge of the U. S. Weather Station there and heads a staff of seven persons who man the station 24 hours a day. He is pictured above on the roof of the terminal where he has just released a helium-filled balloon to test wind direction and velocity. The second after this picture was taken he ducked into the little shelter to the right to measure elevation and horizontal angle of balloon as it ascends. Later this information is compiled into wind direction and velocity at different levels aloft.
