Abstract
One of the most frequently used techniques for making meteorological observations in the altitude region above 100 km is the observation from the ground of chemical releases. The chemical is released in a trail or puff formation from a rocket or projectile. Observations of chemical releases are currently restricted to nighttime or twilight. In those cases where resonant scatter is required for observation, they are restricted to twilight a time when atmospheric properties are changing rapidly.
Portions of this summary are based on detailed reports submitted by N. Rosenberg, E. Schaefer and A. Hedin; their contribution is gratefully acknowledged.
