INTRODUCTION

19304D MLRS, Missile Numbers V01-017, V01-020, BN-048, BN-037, andBN-035, Round Numbers V-225/MD-79 thru V-229/MD-83, were launched fromLC-33, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico, at 1503:37, 1503:411510:00, 1510:05, and 1510:09 MST, 19 Feb 1982. The scheduled launchtimes were 1500:00, 1500:04.5, 1505:00 1505:04.5, and 1505:09 MST.

DISCUSSION

Meteorological data were recorded and reduced by the White Sands Meteor-ological Team, Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory (ASL), White Sands MissileRange, New Mexico. The data were obtained by the following methods:

1. Observations

4 a. Surface

(1) Standard surface observations to include pressre, tem-perature (°C), relative humidity, dew point (°C), density (gm/m ), winddirection and speed, cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-Ominutes.

(2) Anemometer data were provided form existing pole-mountedand tower-mounted anemometers at LC-33. Monitor of wind speed and directionfrom one aneometer was also provided in the launch control room.

b. Upper Air

(1) Low level wind data were obtained form pilot-balloon ob-servations at:

SITE AND ALTITUDE

LC-33 2 KmNICK 2 Km

(2) Air structure data (rawinsonde) were collected at thefollowina Met Sites.
