THE OCEAN BREEZE AND DRY GULCH DIFFUSION PROGRAMS. VOLUME II.

摘要

Field diffusion programs were conducted at Cape Canaveral,Florida,and Vandenberg Air Force Base,California,during 1961and 1962. These programs were undertaken to establish quantitative diffusion predictions for use as range safety tools at the missile test ranges. The programs culminated at each range with the installation of an automatic computer-controlled meteorological data acquisition and processing system now in continuous operation at the bases. These systems have been named Weather Information Network Display (WIND) systems. Volume I (AD-428 436) of this report contains a description of the diffusion experiments which were conducted and summaries of the experimental data which were obtained. Volume II is devoted to analyses of the data to develop diffusion prediction equations,description of the WIND systems,recommendations for operational use of the prediction equation and WIND systems,and preliminary climatological summaries for each of the missile test ranges.
