I NTRDI ICTTON 19702A GSRS, Missile Numbers 312 and 313 Round Numbers B-43 and B-44, were launched from LC-33, White Sands Missile Range T{Pi,-), New Mexico, at 1100 and llo0:1417t.-19 October 1979. The scheduled launch times were 1100 ad 1100:04 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 to include pressure, temperature (*C), relative humidity, dew point ( C), density (om/m-5), 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 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 Dibal observation at: SITE AND LC-33 NICK 2Km 2Km ALTITLIDE (2) Air structure data (rawinsonde) were collected at the following Met Sites. Data were collected from surface to 73,000 feet in 500-feet increments., : SITE AND TIMF SMR 0930 MST IC N-
