Bob Considine reports from Fairbanks Alaska on Allied Arctic weather research aims. U S air force bases at Eielson and Thule plus Canadian stations track storms across the Arctic Ocean while Navy rockets from the East Wind near the North Magnetic Pole seek cosmic ray data. The effort seeks practical weather knowledge amid Cold War tensions and global scientific cooperation.
