It is well known that useful data for oceanographic research are obtained by using an airborne radiation thermometer for measuring sea surface temperatures from aircraft. This method of measurement being applied to the Kurosio regions of adjacent sea of Japan, many useful data in tracking the edge of the Kurosio have been obtained rapidly since 1964. The sensitivity in measuring sea surface temperatures is about 0. 2℃ and the absolute accuracy is about 土0.5℃ in case of observations carried out by the Japanese Hydrographic Office. The instrument consists of an infrared thermometer (which was imported from Barnes Engineering Company ; Stamford Connecticut U. S. A.), a millivoltmeter (recorder) and an inverter. Aircraft employed in observations are the twin-engined Beachcrafts under command of the 2nd, 3rd and 10th Maritime Safety Headquarter’s Air Bases ( i. e. Sendai, Haneda and Kagosima Air Bases, respectively). In this paper, outlines of the thermometer and its measuring method are described.Journal
