March 2000:
The regional sector shown opposite has been moved westward to
encompass the eastern United States, in preparation for forecasting for
ER-2 transit flight from Kiruna to Westover Air Force Base, MA and/or
Dryden Flight Research Center, CA. Contours have been
changed from mean temperatures to total wind speeds to aid planning of
optimal flight route to avoid both turbulence and excessive
headwinds.
