Abstract
PARTLY as an investigation in pure meteorology and partly as a study of the effects of air temperature and humidity on the propagation of very short-wave radio transmissions, autographic records of the temperature and humidity of the air at heights of 1, 15, 47 and 107 m. have been maintained at Rye (Sussex) during the three years July 1945 to June 1948. The station is located on flat marshland, and is about 5 km. from the sea. The temperature and humidity measuring elements were continuously aspirated.
