Abstract: The variation in winds and resulting variations in wind loads on vertically launched vehicles for different worldwide geographical areas are investigated. Methods of determining possible alternate launch sites that offer ...

Abstract: Rocketsonde temperature data taken during the period 1964?69 at White Sands, N. M., Cape Kennedy, Fla., and Wallops Island, Va., are stratified into 10 day and 10 night intervals and then averaged to give mean diurnal ...

Abstract: Methods are developed for determining the contribution by each harmonic wave component to the geostrophic kinetic energy of meridional and zonal motion, and to the geostrophic fluxes of angular momentum and enthalpy. ...

Abstract: Eight ARCAS meteorological rockets were fired from Wallops Island (38N, 75W) before, during and after the total solar eclipse of 7 March 1970. Detailed temperature and wind data were acquired to an altitude of about 65 km. ...
