DETERMINATION OF AIR DENSITY, TEMPERATURE AND WINDS AT HIGH ALTITUDE.

Abstract

The report reviews (i) the development of techniques for extending and improving wind and temperature measurement, particularly above 90 km, and for refining measurements below 90 km; (ii) the experimental results and their interpretation from 22 rocket launches in the USA, Australia, Pakistan, Sardinia and Sweden; and (iii) the analysis of global wind and temperature data.
