SMOKE PLUME METHOD OF MEASURING UPPER WINDS.

Abstract

Contents: Development of a dependable 'Smoke producing' rocket to a height limit of 3000 to 4000 ft; Development of photographic techniques for sequentically recording the smoke plumes in three-dimensions, and, the techniques employed in the determination of wind speeds and directions vs. heights from these readings; Development of a night lighting system for the use of 'Smoke rockets' at night; and Development and testing of a smoke rocket system to extend the useful height range to at least 8000 ft above ground.
