INTRODUCTION

19304D MLRS, Missile Numbers BK 001, VO-O01, and VOl-002, Round Numbers V-140/MD7,V-141/MD8, and V-142/MD9, were launched from LC-33, White Sands Missile Range(WSMR), New Mexico, at 1315:28, 1315:32, and 1315:37 MDT, 11 May 1981. Thescheduled launch times were 1300, 1300:04, and 1300:09 MDT.

DISCUSSION

Meteorological data were recorded and reduced by the White Sands MeteorologicalTeam, Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory (ASL), White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.The data was abtained by the following methods:

1. Observations

a. Surface

(1) Standard surface observations to include pressure, temperatureC), relative humidity, dew point ( C), density (gm/m 3), 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 andtower-mounted anemometers at LC-33. Monitor of wind speed and direction fromone anemometer was also provided in the launch control room.

b. Upper Air

(1) Low level wind data were obtained from RAPTS T-9 pibalobservation at:

SITE AND ALITITUDE

LC-33 z KMNICK 2 KM

(2) Air structure data (rawinsonde) were collected at thefollowing Met Sites:
