In an effort to understand the influence of different surface finishes and the effect of ejecta mass on free surface temperature measurements, we performed a series of high-explosively shocked tin experiments. In this series of experiments the surface finish (i.e., specular, shallow grooves, deep grooves, and ''ball-rolled'' surfaces) and the ambient atmosphere (from 1.2 torr, to atmospheric air, as well as 1 atm helium) were varied. With {approx}180 kbar shock pressure the temperature results agreed for all but the very deep groove surfaces investigated.
