The Laboratory of Climatology, located in Centerton, New Jersey, and afhliated with the Drexel Institute of Technology has been carrying out research in all phases of climatology since l947. It may be said that the laboratory is attempting to find out everything it can about two simple-sounding, but amazingly-complex questions, What happens to the sun- shine? and What happens to the rain? To accomplish this end, instruments capable of measuring how the sunshine and rainfall are used at the earth's surface must be obtained and developed-.
