Abstract: Advantages of using a fast sampling rate for providing raw data for computing wind velocities from pilot-balloon observations are discussed. Two independent approaches show that (for a given sampling rate) the errors in ...

Abstract: A real-time meteorological system which has been developed by the U.S. Army Electronics Command, Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory at White Sands Missile Range, is described. The system was designed for computation and ...

Abstract: To the extent that the stratosphere wind field is close to geostrophic, the thermal wind is a good approximation to the vertical wind shear (vertical variation of the horizontal wind). And since the thermal wind is ...

Abstract: A large sample of temperature observations was statistically analyzed to estimate horizontal temperature variability as a function of distance. These estimates were determined at several altitudes from the surface to 15 ...
