Did the Dutch scientist discover a secret of the winds? Modern study indicates he did. In I860, Buys Ballot out­ lined his basic principle: "Stand with your back to the wind, and pressure is lower on your left hand than on your right . . ." Science has proved it's usually true. Low pressure (bad weather) systems circu­ late counter-clockwise. High pressure systems rotate clock­ wise. Therefore, with your back to the wind, in a low pressure system, your left hand would point to the center of the disturbance. In a high pressure system, your left hand would point away from the center of the high pressure area, away from the best weather! j So, Ballot's Law is impor­ tant. Veteran pilots know steady right "drift" on long cross-country flights is an ominous sign. That is because it means wind is from the left. If one puts his bade to it, his left hand would point the direction he's flying-toward lowering pressure, and bad weather! ONE DAY INCOME TAX SERVICE' QUI 3854410 for appointment
