Excerpt from Bulletin of the Mount Weather Observatory, Vol. 1 The meteorological service of the United States Government is com prised of many stations distributed over a broad area, but until the founding of Mount Weather no station was specifically devoted to research work. The position that the Weather Bureau now occupies in the United States and before the world justifies research into the fundamental principles that underlie meteorological science. Such research will give information and direction to the two hundred stations that are taking observations and making forecasts. In the application of known principles to the art of weather fore casting the Weather Service of the United States is doubtless in the forefront; on the other hand, it has not done its full part in the way of discovering new principles; therefore, it was high time that such an institution as Mount Weather be founded so that the scientists of the Weather Bureau might have placed at their disposal facilities for research that will enable them to better understand the influences that control weather conditions.
