DescriptionThe Climatology Department studied weather patterns to determine how best to store fresh crops after harvest. For example, picked peas that were left on the front platform for too long would quickly spoil. The Climatology Department found that too many peas were being planted at once, and so there was often not enough room for them in the freezers. The Department then developed a planting schedule that maximized the loads of fresh, unspoiled peas. Pictured in the center of the photograph, in front of the map, is Dr. Thornthwaite, the head of the Climatology Department. Standing in the back row, 3rd from the left is Taro Mukai, 4th from the left is Ray Ono, 12th from the left is June Yoshioka, and 14th from the left is Fusa Wadamoto.
