A report on the research and analysis for identifying turbulent regions from the surface to 16 km for Space Shuttle launches is presented. The research demonstrates that the results from the FPS-16 radar/jimsphere balloon system in measuring winds can indicate the presence of or conditions ripe for turbulence in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. It is shown that atmospheric data obtained during the Shuttle launches by the rawinsonde in conjunction with the jimsphere provide the necessary meteorological data to compute aerodynamic parameters to identify turbulence.
