Prototype of Barnes infrared spectrometer proposed as clear air turbulence detector has undergone initial flight tests while mounted on T-33 turbulence research aircraft; advance warning of up to 8.5 nautical mi before interception of horizontal atmospheric temperature variations were recorded; high correlation between temperature variations and mountain waves and/or turbulence was found during tests; necessity of pitch stabilizing such device against spurious aircraft attitude changes has been demonstrated.
