Existing techniques for quantifying the effects of temporal wind variability on launch vehicles employ very limited sets of wind profile pairs derived from rising balloons. Variability due to spatial differences between the drifting balloon and a vehicle trajectory are traditionally ignored. The authors developed a technique to extract high quality wind profiles at frequent time intervals from a Doppler Radar Wind Profiler. This technique was applied to a limited number of data sets gathered from December 1990 through March 1992 at the Kennedy Space Center using the NASA 50 Mhz Wind Profiler. The authors then used these derived wind profiles to demonstrate techniques for quantifying the effects of temporal and spatial variability.
