Calibration and Charting of the Rain Simulation Facility at the Holloman AFB Track

Abstract

Some basic considerations governing rain erosion testing on the Holloman AFB Test Track are presented, and the equipment used for generating artificial rain is described to the extent relevant to charting the rain field. Some characteristics governing application of the IITRI rain counter are discussed and the analysis of data obtained by this instrument is outlined.
