lm ._ yerfoimnce^of KAYSAM S-406, 600 gram -balloons was excellent. Average termination! 
■ jiexgno^reacnea during daylight flights was in excess of 100,000 feet. Lower 
alludes were attained during night-time flights near the Equator because of 
suo^coiu temperatures experienced (-80 Degrees Celsius and colder). 
Radiosonde Instrument performance was very good, although the 58 Series 
produced occasional shifting and drifting.pf signal. 
Air Search Badar performance was very gopd^in spite of the inability of the 
vessel to maneuver during some of the Eawin Observations, and of the frequent 
encountering of light and variable winds aloft.
