TMA Payload, Field Services and Data Reduction - HAES No. 17

Abstract

Upper atmospheric winds were measured during the night of 18 February 1974 from observations of a trail of TMA released from a Nike-Hydac over the Poker Flat range near Fairbanks, Alaska. Ground based photographic sites were used to record the observational data and triangulation methods were employed in data reduction. The wind profiles from that trail and from another similar trail during the night of 27 March 1973 are reported.
