INTRODUCTION
17901A Honest John, Missile Numbers 1824, 1831, 1857, and 1858, Round NumberHJ 678-ASL Thru HJ 681-ASL, were launched from LC-33, White Sands Missile Range(WSMR). New Mexico, at 1235:28, 1300:57, 1531:17, and 1557:32 MDT, 7 Aug 84.The scheduled launch times were 1130, 1150, 1530 and 1550 MDT.
DISCUSSION
Meteorological data were recorded and reduced by the White Sands MeteorologicolTeam, 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 (gm/m3 ), wind direction and speed,
*and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-0 minutes.
(2) Monitor of wind speed and direction from one anemometer was pro-vided in the launch control room.
b. Upper Air
(1) Low level wind data were obtained from Pilot-balloon observationsat:
SITE AND ALTITUDE
LC-33 8000 ft
(2) Air structure data (rawinsonde) were collected at the followingMet Sites.
