An example of this is the regular weather flight from Alaska to the North Pole. It is important, however, to remember that to be fully effective aircraft reconnaissance of this latter type needs to be coordinated more closely with surface observations. Therefore, as is well illustrated by the North Pole flights, there is still a need for sea-level observations. The development of teclmiques of meas-.
