6 INTRODUCTION 1)901A HONEST JOHN, Missile Number 2053 Round Number 662.ASL was launched from '-3; - White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New MexTE rat 1230 MOT, 25 Se tember 1979 The scheduled launch time was 1200 MDT. DISCUSSION Meteorological data were recorded and reduced by the White Sanas 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 (OC), relative humidity, dew point (OC), density (gm/im), wind direction and speed, and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-0 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 RAPTS T-9 pibal observation at: SITE AND ALTITUDE LC Meters (2) Air structure data (rawinsonde) were collected at the folluwini Met Sites. Data were collected from surface to feet in 500-feet increments. SITE AND TIME O iofr WSD 1100 MST X. X10C rab B7. ; A-allc~O~~ 1~c 1 al.
