  • Abstract
    The utility of directional data on static is shown, and two types of apparatus devised for such a directional investigation are compared. It is shown that a method which gives the direction of individual crashes is superior to integrating methods. The distribution of thunderstorms over the world is discussed, and comparisons are drawn between this distribution and the observed directional distribution of static. Probable geographical locations are assigned to the sources, based upon thunderstorm data and directional observations.
