WIND AND WIND SHEAR OBSERVED BY ZN-1 ROCKET AT HAINAN STATION

Middle atmosphere sounding experiment was taken at HAINAN station in December, l988 using the ZN- l rocket. The principle of wind sounding by rocket as well as the results and the methods of data process is discussed in the paper. The results show that there ekist rather strong wind shears and gravity wave disturbance at the low latitude of the midddle atmosphere. There are distinctive differences between the rocket wind data and the CIRA 1986 or ISO reference atmosphere (ISO 5878-1982 /ADD. 1-1983).
