Thanks. But for just a sentence or two, that might be a disproportionate

entry yourself, then perhaps you could email me a sentence or two that
you'd like included? (The Reply-To address on this news article will
work.)

Alternatively perhaps something along the following lines might be
appropriate: "He carried out valuable research into the 'Helm Wind', a
north-east wind that the local topology causes to blow down the
south-west slope of Crossfell in the Pennines with unusual strength."
(I've largely lifted that description from p85 of "Climate and the
British Scene".) I imagine that this would best be inserted after the
description of the Dun Fell observations.
Ha, Ha,
I'm making work all round ;-).
how about-
"From 1937 he carried out...
..Manley interpreted the phenomenon in hydrodynamic terms as a 'standing
wave' and 'rotor', a model confirmed in 1939 by glider flights"
I think the hydrodynamic model from observations bit is important. BTW
somebody ought to write an article/book on the use of glider
observations in meteorology in the 30s and 50s-while I'm dishing out
tasks........................

The scans wld n't take long if you'd like a copy.

Thanks,
