The resulting data are compiled into mean monthly and seasonal profiles of temperature, pressure, density, and wind for each site and are presented in graphical and tabular form. Analyses of these mean values produced time cross sections, quasi-meridional cross sections, and constant level maps which are included."--NTIS abstract."March 1972."Chiefly tables.Cover title.Includes bibliographical references (p. 32-33).ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION; ATMOSPHERIC PHYSICS; MESOSPHERE; METEOROLOGY; STRATOSPHERE; ATMOSPHERIC MODELS; GRAPHS (CHARTS); METEOROLOGICAL CHARTS; METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS; PERIODIC VARIATIONS; SOUNDING ROCKETS; TABLES (DATA); MODEL ATMOSPHERE; ATMOSPHERIC STRUCTURE"Meteorological soundings of the upper stratosphere and mesosphere, conducted with in situ rocket techniques during all seasons of the year from several sites, ranging in latitude from 8 deg S to 71 deg N, are analyzed.
