o— qu ENCLOSURE "a" METEOROLOGY 1. PROBLEM. The meteorological section will be required to provide two important operational gyerviccs. First, accurate winds oloft information to heights of 60,000 fcet must be observed end forccast for radiological safcty purposes. Second, suitable weather conditions, mainly with respccb to cloud caver must be forecast to meet the rcquirements of all air and photo- graphic operations. & 2. METEOROLOGICAL FACILITIES REQUIREMENTS. The exiating meteorologicsl nctwork will need to be augmented. 3. SCIENTIFIC METEOROLOGICAL PROGRAM. A Sclantific meteor- ological program will be inaugurated with the personnel and facilities as outlined in 2, ebove. Tentatively, this prorram will include: - Volume of cloud. 1 {oa b. Rate of rise and height of cloud. Time for diasipation of cloud. |@ . @ a. Documentation of all meteorological reports. Condensation cloud effect. (1) Pressure wave calculations.
