7 INTRODUCT ION 19702A GSRS, Missile Number BR-7, Round lluviber B-52, was launched fr-o-n LC-33,- WTiTte Sands Missile f 'nqe-(wsmr), New Mexicib- -at 1345 MDT 25 October 1979 The scheduled launch time was DT. DISCUSS ION Meteorological data were recorded and reduced by the White Sands Meteorological Team, Atmospheric F.ences Laboratory (ASL), White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The data were obtained by the followinq methods: 1. Observations a. Surface (1) Standard surface observations to include pressure, temperature (C), relative humidity, dew point ( C), density (q,/m), wind direction and speed, and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-O minutes. (2) Anemometer data were provided from existinq 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 ALTITUDF NICK 2Km LC-33 2Km (2) Air sructure data (rawinsonde) were ccllected at the following Met Sites. Data were collected from surface tr 345 feet in 500-feet increments. SIE AND TIME SMR 1300 MST Dist,,,d -- A M1 _9bl
