The Weather War -Articles recopilation-

Many months ago, as a one of my hobbies are the meteorological matters, I locate an interesting document, who talking about these themes. The meteororological war, is a question very interesting in wich both bands, German & Allies (by Intelligency, of course) received data about the meteorological conditions. This in a resume, but note that inside a reference from a book who explains in detailed form all the knowledge about this themes: http://www.international.icomos.org/madrid2002/actas/39.pdf

I found an interesting article in PDF:
The development and use of weather buoys 1940-2005

Franz Selinger Obering, i. R., Ulm, Germany ​

If you are interested in these themes, and understand Spanish -you could will translate online-, In U-Historia you find an article about these matters. Follow this route: http://www.u-historia.com > Historia > Artículos Históricos > Meteorología en la Guerra Submarina.

I'm a collaborator of U-Historia webpage from many years

Entre los hallazgos que he ido encontrando, hay uno que me gustaría compartir. Se trata de un artículo de un diario alemán, Südwest Press, de Ulm que presenta a sus lectores a un ciudadano muy ilustre, el Dr. Selinger que cuenta en la actualidad con 94 años y sus trabajos de investigación:

Nos muestra asímismo una estación meteorológica ubicada en 1943 en Spitzbergen.

Among the findings that I found, there is one I'd like to share. This is an article from a German newspaper, Südwest Press, Ulm, presented to its readers to a most illustrious citizen, Dr. Selinger which has now 94 years old and their research task:

Wie unbemannte Wetterstationen aussahen, zeigt das linke Foto, das 1943 auf Spitzbergen entstand. Das Foto rechts unten zeigt die Bergung einer automatischen Wetterstation durch einen Hubschrauber der norwegischen Küstenwache. Franz Selinger (oben) hatte die Station entdeckt.
