INTRODUCTION

19318B MLRS, Missile Numbers BN-306, BN-315, BN-311, BN-318, BN-314 andBN--321, Round Numbers 473/DL-19 thru 478/DL-24, were launched from LC-33,White Sands Missile Range (WSR). New Mexico, at 1400.0, 1400:05, 1400.14,1400:19 and 1400:23 MDT, 18 JUL 83. The Scheduled launch times were 1400MDT with a 4.5 second separation.

DISCUSSION

Meteorological data were recorded and reduced by the White SandsMeteorological Team, Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory (ASL), White Sandsissile Range, New Mexico. The data were obtained by the following me-

thods:

1. Observations

a. Surface

(1) Standard surface observati 8 ns to include pregsure, temp-erature (0 C), relative humidity, dew point ( C), density (in/m ), wind di-rection and speed, and cloud cover were made at the LC-33 Met Site at T-Ominutes.

(2) Anemometer data were provided from existing pole-mountedand tower-mounted anemometers at LC-33. Monitor of wind speed and direc-tion from one anemometer was also provided in! the launch control room.

b. Upper Air

(1) Low level wind data were obtained from pilot-balloonobservations at:

SITE AND ALTITUDE

LW-33 2 KmDON 2 Km

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