8 i INTRODUCTI ON 197f1RMJS_, Missile Number-- 0 _, Round Number r,, was launched from LC-33, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico, at 1413 MST on 10 December 1979 The scheduled launch time was 1430 MST DISCUSSION 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: 1. Observations a. Surface (1) Standard surface observations to include pressure, temperature ( 0 C), relative humidity, dew point ( 0 C), density (gm!m 3), Wiid direction and speed, and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-O minutes. (2) Anemometer data were provided from existing pole-mounted ard tower-mounted anemometers at LC-33. Monitor of wind speed and direction from one anemometer was also provided in the launch control ro'em. b. Upper Air (1) Low level wind data were obtained from RAPTS T-9 pibal observation at: SITE AND ALTITUDE LC-33 24m (2) Air structure data (rawinsonde) were collected at the following Met Sites. Data were collected from surface to 30y000 feet in feet increments. SITE AND TIME SMR 1415 MST
