Description
Summary:Early Global Horizontal Sounding Technique (GHOST) balloon tests have resulted in valuable upper air wind data, particularly in the data-poor mid-latitudes over southern hemisphere oceans. This publication was prepared to meet the requests for obtaining this particular data. This is Volume X which presents positional and wind data and a trajectory map for the 79R GHOST balloon test launched in the Antarctic. NCAR/TN-34 was published in eleven volumes.
