Zusammenfassung:A program whose objective is the study of stratospheric winds and temperatures, and mass transport processes in the stratosphere and upper atmosphere, is described. These parameters are determined through reduction and analysis of photographs of sunlight-scattering chemical and smoke (particulate) tracers deposited from rockets. Computer programs implementing triangulation by vector and matrix methods were developed to measure three-dimensional smoke trail positions from multiple photographic projections of the trails. Horizontal winds and shears were derived from the transport of these trails. (Author)
