SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF DENSITY DISTRIBUTION AS INFERRED FROM WIND MEASUREMENTS MADE BY THE METEOROLOGICAL ROCKET NETWORK,

Abstract

Wind observations from the Meteorological Rocket Network are applied to the investigation of the distribution of density and the relationship between the distribution of density and the distributions of temperature and pressure to 65 kilometers altitude. The results of applying these wind data to this problem are analyzed from both physical and statistical viewpoints. These wind data depict the known features of the density field and suggests that a hitherto unsuspected region of temperature control exists between 20 and 33 kilometers altitude. (Author)
