SINTRODUCTION

19304D MLRS Missile Number 1130 Round Number V-99 -was launched from LC-33 , White Sands Missile Range (WSMRY7w Mexico,at 1139 MST, 18 December 1979 The scheduled launch time wasMST.

DISCUSSION

Meteorological data were recorded and reduced by the White Sands Meteorolo-gical Team, Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory (AL), White Sands Missile Range, Mexico. The data were obtained by the following nethods:

1. Observations

a. Surface

(1) Standard surface observations to inclqde pressure, temperature(Oc), relative huridity, dew point (oC), density (g/m), wind direction andspeed, and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-O minutes.

(2) Monitor of ,,ind speed and direction from one anemometer wasprovided in the launch control room.

b. Upper Air

(1) Low level wind data were obtained from RAPTS T-9 pibalobservation at:

SITE AND ALTITUD
