7 INTRODUCTION MLRS, Missile Number VOl-016, Round Number V-189/MD-43, was launched from LC-33, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico, at 1423:30 MOT, 17 Sept The scheduled launch time was 1415 MDT. 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 observation to include pressure, temperature ( 0 C), relative humidity, dew point ( C), density (gm/niw), wind speed and direction, and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-O minutes. (2) Anemometer data were provided from existing pole-mounted and tower-mounted anemometers at LC-33. Monitor of wind speed and direction from one anemometer was also provided in the launch control room. b. Upper Air: (1) Low level wind data were obtained from Pilot-Balloon observations at: SITE AND ALTITUDE LC-33 NICK 2 KM 2 KM (2) Air structure data (rawinsonde) were collected at the following Met Sites: SITE AND TIME WSD WSO MDT MDT Accession For WSD 1315 MDT NTIS GRA&I WSD 1500 MDT DTIC TAB Unannounced Justification By Distribution/ Availability Codes Dist ~Avail Special and/or ~~~~~~~ ".... 1,..l *~i
