FORECASTING WITH THE ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY STATION AT THE U. S. NAVAL AIR STATION, LAKEHURST, NEW JERSEY.
Trends in atmospheric electric conductivity and field were successfully used as aids in the forecasting of fog formation and dissipation at the Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, New Jersey; rules for the use of such trends are presented.

Summary: | Trends in atmospheric electric conductivity and field were successfully used as aids in the forecasting of fog formation and dissipation at the Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, New Jersey; rules for the use of such trends are presented. Previously, the same general rules were applied successfully at the Naval Station, Argentia, Newfoundland. If anomalies in atmospheric-electric parameters due to local conditions are understood, the trends of the variations in conductivity and electric field can be determining factors in forecasting whether or not flying conditions will improve or deteriorate.
