Leading AG?? While on Operation DEEP FREEZE the Aerographers have one of the most important jobs. Surface observations are taken hourly and transmitted every three hours to McMurdo Sound. The most important task is to take upper air soundings every twelve hours and transmit them to McMurdo. No matter what sea or weather conditions exist, soundings must be taken and transmitted. With the data the Aerographers gather, the forecasters at Mc- Murdo can determine the type of weather pilots will encounter between Camp- bell's Island and McMurdo. This is the only weather link Operation DEEP FREEZE has between Campbell's Island and the ice. Supplying weather data is the primary mission of the ship while on picket station at 60 Southg often described by Mariners as the roughest and most hazardous waters of all the oceans of the world. Gary? weather unit has lived up to the code set by the Naval Weather Service and has performed a commendable service for the success of Operation DEEP FREEZE. Keep Blowing Rose! l'll tell you when to Stop! Boy, home Wee never like 'h'5'
