       Notes - general: Prevoius work has shown that current specifications do
                        not always identify the weather conditions that are
                        unsuitable for laying and compacting rolled asphalt
                        wearing course materials.  Using data from the
                        metrorological office for nine airfield sites, it is
                        shown that the weather conditions in the UK can be
                        considered adverse for over 90% of the time for
                        compacting a 40mm thich rolled asphalt mat.  On the
                        other hand, the weather is rarely unsuitable for
                        laying a 50mm mat.  Mathematical models are described
                        for predicting the probablitity of the weather being
                        adverse for sites at given latitude and altitude by
                        month and time of day.
