Progress in the use of wind profiling radars for Shuttle launch support

The use of wind profiling radars during Space Shuttle launches is examined. The way in which wind measurements are used in the launch process is described, including monitoring the day of launch winds, flight simulations, and the improvement of the data base which provides the mean winds and monthly variability of wind profiles. Results are presented from tests of two profilers conducted during March and April, 1985. The wind profiling characteristics of three profilers are listed and the winds provided by the profilers are compared to Jimsphere winds.

Sonic Detection and Ranging (SODAR) Wind Profiler Instrument Handbook

The SODAR (Sonic Detection and Ranging) wind profiler measures wind profiles and backscattered signal strength between (nominally) 15 meters (m) and 500 m. It operates by transmitting acoustic energy into the atmosphere and measuring the strength and frequency of backscattered energy. The strength of the backscattered signal is determined by the strength of temperature inhomogeneities with size on the order of 10 centimeters (cm). Assuming the scattering elements in the atmosphere are moving with the mean wind, the horizontal wind field can be derived. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility Mobile Facility (AMF) has a system developed by Scintec, Inc. that transmits a sequence of frequencies to enhance signal determination.

Analysis of wind profile temporal variability

The modulus of the maximum wind change is used here to assess wind change at the Shuttle launch site at Kennedy Space Center. Empirical and theoretical distributions of the maximum wind change are presented, and the effect of wind profile smoothing on wind change distributions is analyzed. The capability of wind profile systems to measure extreme wind change is described.
