Investigations of the flight conditions in and around thunderstorms are being conducted under names 'Rough Rider' and 'Cold Cat.' This paper treats observations made with high altitude aircraft and supporting ground-based equipment in October 1967 and 1968 in Malaysia and in spring seasons of 1967, 1968 and 1969 in Oklahoma, U.S.A. The data collection periods correspond to the seasonal thunderstorm activity in the respective locations. Measurements from aircraft include turbulence, temperature variation, and cloud top heights, with radar and rawinsonde data from the ground. These data concerning operation of high altitude and supersonic aircraft supplement that obtained in Oklahoma. (Author)
