co F, Steucke -~2- January 18, 1987 path reconstruction. Could you help? Ina similar vein, could you perhaps find me a copy of the official weather that night (+/- 6 hrs) for NE Alaska down to Anchorage? Of particular value would be a préssure and temperature sounding as a function of altitude, a so-called lapse rate diagram, also known as a Struve Diagram, The winds aloft along the flight path of the aircraft would also be very useful. I imagine that your meteorology division has that type of information. Thanks in advance for anything you can find. As I learn more I will pass it along to you. Until later I remain Very since rely Yours, “Satie AEA L- Richard F, Haines, Pn. D. Research Consultant Io. 5. Give my regards to Jim Derry.
