James Giraytys, Harold R. Rippy · Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society · 1964
Past efforts in meteorological rocket sounding systems are reviewed to show how the current USAFMRN evolved. The capability of the USAFMRN is analyzed with respect to its ability to satisfy current requirements for data. The expansion of the network is predicted, based upon stated and anticipated needs and the status of meteorological equipment under development.
