Abstract

Result of a study of runway and screen temperature observations made at Dum Dum airport, Calcutta at six synoptic hours (00, 03, 06, 09, 12 and 18 GMT) for a period of 21 months was reported earlier by the author.  The same has now been extended for a further period of 24 months.  The result of the study for the entire period of 45 months, reveals that the runway temperature is generally higher that the screen temperature, the average value of difference of runway and screen temperature readings being generally less than 1oC.  In extreme cases, the absolute value of the difference could be as high as ± 4oC.  The diurnal and seasonal variation of the difference has been discussed.  The effect of surface wind, radiation and other factors on the value of the difference has been also discussed.
