WIND SHEAR IN THE JET STREAM AT WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE

Abstract

A discussion of wind shear in the jet stream over White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico is presented. Wind data collected utilizing the GMD-1 system are used to calculate vectorial wind shear. The maximum jet wind speed could not be significantly correlated to the maximum wind shear for any particular observation. Mean vectorial wind shear and standard deviation for each thousand feet of height in the jet stream are included.
