Meteorological Measurements Program during Unified Navy Field Test Program.
Abstract
The Ballistic Research Laboratory participated with the Unified Navy Field Test Program conducted at the TRW Capistrano Test Site near San Clemente, CA from the fall of 1976-May 1978. Part of the BRL's responsibility in this program was to provide the meteorological measurements and analysis. These measurements provided the data required to determine optimum high energy laser propagation windows, and to predict propagation results. Meteorological parameters included in these measurements are the horizontal wind velocity normal to the propagation path, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction at several fixed points, strength of atmospheric optical turbulence, net and total solar radiation, temperature, dew point, and relative humidity. This report describes the measurement and recording techniques of the the meteorological parameters, and presents the data obtained.
