Not believed to be a CIVINS (Civilian Institutions) title. / In the preliminary considerations of this problein, the Idea back of the whole
Investigation was to afford the U.S. Naval Service with a detailed study 'of the
weather conditions of the eastern part of the i:orth Pacific ocean from which a logical solution of the weather In this area could be obtained from the available land
reports. In case of a war (and it is upon these assumptions that the plans of the Navy must be formulated) It Is assumed that the Intricate system or network of reports
over the continent of north America, particularly the United States and territories
and Island possessions will be available to the Navy; but the ship reports
over the North pacific will be reduced to a negligible figure. But it is just at
this time that the weather situation over the North pacific will be a vital factor
in the operations of the United States Navy. "Forewarned Is Forearmed" -- and all
the advance Information that is available to the Naval Forces will be decisive
factor In the success of a mission, likewise if this Information Is not available
to the enemy it will deter him in carrying out his mlssion. With this idea in mind
it was decided to carry out a study of the weather conditions of the eastern part
of the North Pacific.
