A General-Purpose Meteorological Rocket Data Reduction Program.

Abstract

Ann B. ;DA-1-T-665702-D-1271-T-665702-D-12707ECOM5462(*atmospheric sounding, data processing), (*computer programs, instruction manuals), wind, atmospheric temperature, barometric pressure, density, meteorological radar, sounding rockets, ozonefortran, univac 1108 computers, data reductionMETROC is a general-purpose meteorological rocket data reduction program designed to be run on the Univac 1108 computer system at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico (WSMR). Wind data may be input on cards or may be computed from radar data input on digital tape. Temperature data may be input on data cards. Layer winds are computed for selected altitudes, as are corrected temperatures. Pressure and densities are derived by using the hydrostatic equations and an initial data point from a conjunctive rawinsonde measurement. Some specially formatted data may be output to meet project requirements at WSMR. (Author)
