12829A LANCE Missile Number 2518, Round Number 369DST. 2 November 1981.

Abstract

Meteorological data were recorded and reduced by the White Sands Meteorological Team, Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory (ASL), White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The data were obtained by the following methods: Surface: Standard surface observations to include pressure, temperature (C), relative humidity, dew point (C), density (gm/cu m), wind speed and direction, and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-O minutes; and Anemometer data were provided from existing pole-mounted and tower-mounted anemometers at LC-33. Monitor of wind speed and direction from one anemometer was also provided in the launch control room. Upper Air: Low level wind data were obtained from NIKE-HERC Radar Tracked pibot balloon, and Air structure data (rawinsonde) were collected at the following Met Sites. Data were collected from surface to high as possible in 500-feet increments.
