INTRODUCTION
Nike-Hydac STV, SR-076, was launched from LC-33, L-314,White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico, at 0630 hoursIDT, 10 October 1968.
Meteorological data used in conjunction with theoreticalcalculations to predict rocket impact were collected by theMeteorological Support Technical Area, U. S. Army ElectronicsResearch and Development Activity, WSMR, New Mexico. The Bal-listic Meteorologists for this firing were Gordon L. Dunawayand Len E. Carter.
DISCUSSION
Wind data for the first 216 feet above the surface wereobtained from a system composed of five Aerovanes mounted on a200-foot tower and cabled to wind component indicators.
From 216 to 4,000 feet above the surface, wind data wereobtained from T-9 Radar-tracked balloon ascents.
Temperature, pressure, and humidity data, along with upperwind data from 4,000 to 100,000 feet above the surface, wereobtained from standard rawinsonde observations.
Mean wind component values in each ballistic zone weredetermined from vertical cross sections by the equal-areamethod.
Theoretical rocket performance values and wind-weightingvalues as a function of altitude were provided by the Meteoro-logical Support Technical Area, WSMR, New Mexico, and are thebasis for the data appearing in Table I.
