Master Data Base for Optical Turbulence Research in Support of Airborne Laser

Abstract

A Master Data Base was assembled in support of the Airborne Laser Program (ABL). The database consists of two major tables of data, several forms to facilitate data entry and viewing, some queries of the database, and some reports based on the database. The data which comprises the tables was taken either directly from the world-wide data retrieval campaign taken in support of the ABL or from various meteorological data sources used to better understand the atmospheric conditions that prevailed during the campaign. A description of the Data Tables and how these data were compiled is the thrust of this report.
