COMPARISON OF MIDDLE ATMOSPHERIC DATA OBTAINED BY CHINESE ROCKETS WITH THE DRAFT OF CIRA 1986

Meteorological rocket explorations have been successfully conducted for years in our country. Unique data of wind, temperature, density and pressure in middle atmosphere have been obtained. Acomparison of the measured data with the draft of CIRA 1986 is given. The results show that the temperature data from the Chinese rockets are fluctuating around the mean profile given by the model. The agreement is within the range of deviation of international comparison. The seasonal characters of the wind and the intensities of acoustic gravitational waves obtained from the analysis of our rocket data agree well with that given by the model. Because of the sparse of the measurement data, annual variation and tidal oscillations of the middle atmosphere are difficult to be analysed and compared. Nevertheless, the results of this article still show that the accuracy and resolution of our rocket measurements have reached the level of being within the range of deviations of international comparison, and at the mean time also show that the representation of the middle atmospheric structure above our country by the draft of CIRA 1986 is appropriate.
