Fort Greely Missile Range Reference Atmosphere. Part 2

Abstract

The IRIG Range Reference Atmosphere presented in this document continues the series of Part II published by the Inter-Range Instrumentation Group/Meteorological Working Group. Part II extends the tabulations of Part I for monthly and annual periods to 90 km for thermodynamic quantities and to 70 km for wind quantities. Thermodynamic quantities include geopotential height, temperature, pressure (mb), density, and speed of sound tabulated at 250-m intervals of geometric altitude. The wind quantities are scalar wind and zonal and meridional component values (m/sec) for 11 cumulative percentage frequencies at 1 km intervals.
