For monitoring external "ram air temperature", or "total air temperature", which can rise under conditions of hot ambient weather, and fast low level flight.
The purpose is to protect the airframe and certain pieces of equipment from overheating. The aircrerw manual linked below gives temperature limitations.
This sensor is directly wired to the ram air temperature indicator to inform the aircrew of the total air temperature.
