               Notes

    Forecasting weather by scientific methods did not begin until the

exchange weather reports according to a prescribed plan. Later advances 
in weather forecasting were achieved as a result of the invention of 
the rediosonde and radar, accompanied by the use of computers and 
weather satellites.

    The southernmost continent Antarctica ranks the fifth as far as

released by melting, this amount of water would cause the sea level to 
rise more than sixty meters worldwide.
