Possibility that the Japan coast has changed was suggested by L. H. Daingerfield, U. S. Fisher forecaster in Los Angeles, recently said that the last months of 1939 were of recaiking warmness. Current Explained D. Greenfield, associated Daingerfield explained the fact thus: Monetary circulation, water or results from unequal heating masses. A water mass must be an equilibrium. Hence, in the hot tropics expands moves. Cold water comes in like its place. Continental rivers and the earth's rotation define the course a current thus created shall take. It becomes a river. "A warm stream such as the Japan current, heats the air above it and creates humidity. Barometric pressure drives it inland, warming the coast line." Wind Important The wind is the most important of several factors which cause the Japan current to shift its course, McEwen said. "It is certain," he declared, "that there has been a remarkable change in ocean temperatures which, since September storms, have been far higher than usual. It is possible a change in the course of the current is responsible." He added that ocean temperatures have averaged six to seven degrees Fahrenheit higher than normal. Scientists hope to determine whether there is to be a permanent shift in the current and in what direction when they begin their studies next week.
