Abstract
The atmospheric environment is presented for the flight of PERSHING Missile-405, which was launched on 4 March 1963, at 2000 EST, from the Atlantic Missile Range, Cape Canaveral, Florida. The general synoptic situation for the flight area, surface observations at launch time, and upper air conditions as measured by rawinsondes released as close to missile launch time as possible are given. High altitude wind data over the launch area as determined from a meteorological rocket flight are also presented. Relative deviations of thermodynamic quantities from the Patrick Air Force Base Annual Reference Atmosphere are pre sented in graphirm for easy reference.
