INTRODUCTION 19315B MLRS, Missile Number V28-002, Round Number V-172/AT-3, was launched from LC-33, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico, at 1043 MDT, 20 July 1981. The scheduled launch time was 0730 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 observations tg include pressure temperature ( C), relative humidity, dew point ( C), density (gm/mi), wind speed and direction, and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-0 minutes. (2) Anemometer data were provided from existing polemounted 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 Accession For WSD 0630 MDT N.I$ PA&I LC-37 0730 MDT WSD 0830 MDT F c T 4 LC-37 0930 MDT [- WSD 1030 MDT Distribution/ Availability Codes AvW11 and/or sl pecial r '
