dc.description.abstract	In an effort to verify computational methods for ocean heat budgets, observations of insulation under clear skies for 26 days were compared with values computed by a formula previously derived from the Smithsonian Tables. The agreement between the observations and formula was within 2.0% for three groups of data over the Pacific between 10°S and 47°N. Random and systematic errors in the formula appear to be insignificant in these regions, but its validity is uncertain at higher latitudes.
