A DATA REDUCTION TECHNIQUE FOR METEOROLOGICAL WIND DATA ABOVE 30 KILOMETERS

Abstract

The FPS-16 tracking systems superimpose undesired oscillations on the real position data resulting in rapidly fluctuating successive position points which are physically unrealistic. The frequency response is given and the data are corrected by a method derived by Eddy et al. Undesired high frequency oscillations are effectively eliminated and successive wind profiles show good continuity.
