7 INTRODUCTI ON 19702A GSRS, Missile Numbers 314 and 213, Round Numbers B-55 and B-56, were launched from LC-33 White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico, at 1027:03 and 1027:09, on 30 October 1979 The schedule launch times were 1015 and 1015:04 MST DISCUSSION Meteorological data were recorded and reduced by the White Sands Meteorological Team, Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory (ASL), White Sands Missile Ranije, New Mexico. The data were obtained by the following methods: 1. Observations a. Surface (1) Standard surface observations to include pressure, temperature 3 ( C), relative humidity, dew point ( C), density (gm/inm ), Wind direction and speed, and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-O winiutes. * (2) Anemometer data were provided from existing pole-mounted and tower-mounted anemometers at LC-33. Monitor of wind speed ind direction from one anemometer was also provided in the launch control room. b. Upper Air (1) Low level wind data were obtained from RAPTS T-9 pihal observation at: SITE AND ALTITUDE LC-33 2Km Nick 2Km (2) Air structure data (rawinsonde) were collected at the following Met Sites. Data were collected from surface to 78,500 feet in 500-feet increments. SITE AND TIME SMR 0930 MST
