Statistical analysis and use of the VAS radiance data [PDF]
, 1984 Special radiosonde soundings at 75 km spacings and 3 hour intervals provided an opportunity to learn more about mesoscale data and storm-environment interactions. Relatively small areas of intense convection produce major changes in surrounding fields of

Some Applications of Detailed Wind Profile Data to Launch Vehicle Response Problems [PDF]
, 1962 The response of a launch vehicle to a number of detailed wind profiles has been determined. The wind profiles were measured by two techniques which are briefly described. One of these techniques uses an angle-of-attack sensor in conjunction with guidance

Low-level water vapor fields from the VISSR atmospheric sounder (VAS) split window channels at 11 and 12 microns [PDF]
A series of high-resolution water vapor fields were derived from the 11 and 12 micron channels of the VISSR Atmospheric Sounder (VAS) on GOES-5. The low-level tropospheric moisture content was separated from the surface and atmospheric radiances by using
