Table 3.2 summarized the data obtained over water, and these are plotted in Figure 3.4.
Additional data of this type have been derived fron’ measurements made in previous operations.
This information is presented in Appendix C. The curves in Figures C.1 and C.2 show a similar
correspondence to the theoretical curves.
