Estimating Average Wind Velocity Along a Trajectory
Abstract
Average Wind Velocity (VWAVE) program calculates average wind velocity over time for particular vehicle trajectory. Calculation based on wind profile, which is wind magnitude at various altitudes. Average of wind profile over altitude does not correlate well with actual apparent effect of wind. Wind profiles with low average velocities more severe than some wind profiles with high average velocities. VWAVE written in FORTRAN V for interactive execution.
