TAT (Total Air Temperature) measured by the aircraft probe is higher than SAT because:

The probe is heated electrically

The engine exhaust heats it

Kinetic heating (ram rise) increases the temperature at the sensing element

Correct

Solar radiation affects the probe

Explanation

At high speeds, adiabatic compression of air at the probe causes kinetic (ram) heating, so TAT exceeds static air temperature.
