Breadboard Dropsonde-Minirefractionsonde Analyzer. Volume 1.

Abstract

The Breadboard Dropsonde-Minirefractionsonde Analyzer can be used for analysis of three different types of soundings: (1) Dropsonde with baroswitch pressure sensor, (2) Dropsonde with continuous analog pressure sensor (CAPS), and (3) Balloon-borne minirefractionsonde (with CAPS). The equipment complement of the system is the same for analyzing all three types of soundings. The one exception is that the EECO Paper Tape Reader is not used in analyzing soundings using the CAPS dropsonde and the minirefractionsonde. The three types of analysis are accommodated by simply using a different program to control the processing. The Breadboard Dropsonde-Minirefractionsonde Analyzer's design and development are based partially on principles that were implemented and shown feasible in the Engineering Prototype Processor that was developed by Analytics for NADC (Contract No. N62269-75-C-0382 -- Technical Report 1167, An Engineering Prototype Processor Incorporating Data for Refractive Index Profiles).
