Atmospheric Soundings in Near Real Time from Combined Satellite and Ground-Based Remotely Sensed Data

摘要

This report describes the theory, design, and performance of a mobile system for remotely measuring atmospheric wind, temperature, and moisture profiles for determination of artillery meteorological corrections. The principal components, their principles of operation, and the method for combining their resulting measurements are described. The results of comparisons of measurements made by the prototype system with radiosonde and pibal measurements are presented.
