Abstract

Describes this tower in the Canadian Arctic Islands, and summarizes data, obtained Aug. 1957-Feb. 1961, on vertical profiles of temperature. Average hourly and monthly differences in temperature at 100 and 6.4 ft are presented. These show a temperature drop with increased height in daylight, and a rise with height during darkness, also an unexplained inversion in mid-afternoons, Apr.-June.
