Name of previous owner written in ink at type of spine. The Goddard Space Flight Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration organized a workshop (held on May…18-22, 1981) centered around three working groups corresponding to the three chapters in this report--a Trace Species Working Group; a Multidimensional Aspects Working Group; and a Trends and Predictions Working Group. Over 100 scientists representing most of the institutions in the world engaged in upper atmospheric research attended the workshop. At the end of the workshop, each working group prepared a summary document, and these have been assembled into this report. The basic theme for the workshop and the report was the comparison of theory and measurement. Appendix A-I, includes, in part: References, Acronyms, Stratospheric Instruments and Analysis, Chemical Kenetics and Photochemistry, and a Reference Solar Spectral Irradiance for use in a Atmospheric Modeling It should be stressed that this is not a consensus document. If more than one conclusion could be maintained by the scientific data, then both of these conclusions have been quoted. It is, aft all, a significant test of the present state-of-knowledge if more than one scientific conclusion can be drawn from the same experimental data. The stratosphere is the second major layer of Earth's atmosphere, just above the troposphere, and below the mesosphere. The stratosphere is stratified (layered) in temperature, with warmer layers higher and cooler layers closer to the Earth; this increase of temperature with altitude is a result of the absorption of the Sun's ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. This is in contrast to the troposphere, near the Earth's surface, where temperature decreases with altitude. The border between the troposphere and stratosphere, the tropopause, marks where this temperature inversion begins. Near the equator, the lower edge of the stratosphere is as high as 20 km (66,000 ft; 12 mi), at midlatitudes around 10 km (33,000 ft; 6.2 mi), and at the poles about 7 km (23,000 ft; 4.3 mi) Temperatures range from an average of 51 °C ( 60 °F; 220 K) near the tropopause to an average of 15 °C (5.0 °F; 260 K) near the mesosphere.[6] Stratospheric temperatures also vary within the stratosphere as the seasons change, reaching particularly low temperatures in the polar night (winter). Winds in the stratosphere can far exceed those in the troposphere, reaching near 60 m/s (220 km/h; 130 mph) in the Southern polar vortex.

In early 1981, the Saudi government requested American assistance in providing meteorological support to the Kingdom's military forces. This request was a…ccepted. This document constitutes a visionary organizational arrangement for the Kingdom. Weather, morale, and logistics are three imponderables of warfare, with morale and logistics significantly affected by weather. This plan considers the unique position of the Kingdom, the sophisticated armaments in the region, command and control requirements, economy of force, and responsiveness to external contingencies (among other factors). The plan represents the then state of the art technology and equipment and required a military-civil mix of personnel to execute and to understand and respond to military needs. This plan was prepared by a joint Saudi and U.S. team comprised of highly-skilled professionals, including a number from the U.S. Department of Defense and the military services. This plan was deemed to meet military requirements, standardize the service, emphasize safety and operations response, and to aid in decisions affecting the rules of engagement.
