Figure 2 depicts sea surface temperatures measured by the ART on the Navy plane and a plane-to-plane compari- son of air temperatures on the Cape Kennedy-to-ship leg of the flight. As mentioned earlier the lateral separation between the two aircraft was 2 to 3 mi. which possibly could account for some of the observed differences (maximum ° C.) in the air temperature record. Perhaps the greatest interest, particularly in the Navy Oceanographic Office and the Research Flight Facility, lay in the comparison of the infrared radiometers and the absorption hygrometers of the two aircraft. It is sad to say that neither of these comparisons could be made. AIR TEMPERATURES NAVY AIRCRAFT RFF AIRCRAFT.
