Abstract

THE point raised by Mr. R. F. Hughes in NATURE of January 21 and February 11 is one that appears to deserve consideration by the investigators of the upper air. He contends, I take it, that even if the instrument records perfectly the temperature of the metal strip, it does not necessarily tell us the temperature of the upper air, but the temperature which the strip takes up in order to bring about a balance between the heat received and lost by it; and in calculating this temperature it is unfair to neglect, without investigation, the absorption and emission of radiation by the instrument and the balloon.
