Description This volume brings together a group of important papers on stratospheric circulation that have arisen from recent research, most of them from the programs of two seminars on this subject held in London in 1967 and in Tokyo in 1968. The seminars were sponsored by the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). Efficient use of data produced by the global synoptic rocket network requires a general background knowledge of the new rocket systems, measurement techniques, observational programs, and data applications which have evolved during this first decade of the Meteorological Rocket Network. This volume provides a source of such material for the uninitiated as well as a comprehensive reference volume for the experienced rocket scientists who have participated in this cooperative synoptic venture. Although it has not been possible to include all aspects of MRN development, the coverage is sufficient to lead the investigator to all facets of this new cooperative atmospheric exploration system.
