INTRODUCTION

Test MTY

Aerobee W A 127 UA FBcility personnel, 15 April ,1965.

(S/N AF 142)- was launched by N*S;l Ordnance Xissile Whit& Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, at 0345 hours

Meteorological data used i n con junction with theomt ica l cr lculat ions t o pred ic t rocket impact mm collected by the Meteorological Support Divi- sion, U, 5, Array Ble$tronia Reserrch urd Dovolapnaent Activity, white Sands M88ile Rmp, Now Mdxlco, The impact predictors for this firing were Ivan I. Iayton and Gordon L. Dunaway.

DISCUSS1 ON

Wind data f o r the first 4,000 feet abow the surface were obtained frah a Double-Theodolite Wind Velocity Computer System [l]. Balloons released a t the launch site were observed and tracked from a 2,000-foot baseline. Continuous angular data were transmitted from two e l e c t r i c a l l y instrumented theodolites t o a computer where the data wem reduced t o ob- t a i n a velocity-vs-height relationship, The canputer output drive8 two recorders which t race north-south and east-west canponqnts on a spec ia l ly designed wind velocity canputer b a l l i s t i c chart, I t i s possible te read d i rec t ly ftwn the chart both the mean wind canponent values and the mean b a l l i s t i c wind caaponents i n the various b a l l i s t i c l a y e n ,

Temper'ature, pmssure md humidity data, along with upper wind data from 4,000 t o approximately 75,000 feet above the surface, were dbtaineq f r o m standard rawinsonde operations.

Mean wind component values in each b a l l i s t i c tone were dotexmined fran ver t ica l cross sections by the equal-area method,

Data dppearing i n Appendix D are based on the E. L. Walter [2] theory. The "Pmdicted Impact" includes, where applicable, an adjustment of impact based on the experience of t h e impact predictor and the forecast of f i r i n g time wind conditions.
