27 Errors in the Method of-Pilot~l.oonMOb ervatiOflS :from One point
The method of pilot balloon observations from one point,
as also other methods, makes it possi.ble to determine
the speed
and dire.;tion of the wind with a certain degree of accuracy de-
pending on the size of errors in the obtained results. Knowing
the size of these errors permits us to judge the area of appli-
cation of this method and to avoid large errors in the utilizaw
tion of the results obtained.
Inasmuch as the wind velocity and direction are determined
by the size and direction of the segments between the projections
of the pilot? balloon, then, consequently, the errors in the deter-
urination of the positions of the projections will result in errors
the determination of the wind velocity and direction. The
in
p.rojections in turn depends on the values of the
position of the
coordinates of the pilot balloon, ire., azimuths, vertical angles,
altitudes? In this manner, the errors in the determination of
and
the wind velocity and direction depend on the errors of the basic
values forming the foundation of the method, namely, the azimuth,
the vertical angle and the altitude?
In studying the question of errors and the determination o
the wind velocity and direction those errors in the determination of
~
angular coordinates which are accidental are taken into account,
assuming that the systematic errors are
corresponding corrections,
considered by means of
The error in the determination of he

determination of the wind.
Let us assume that at some moment of time t1 the horizontal
projection of the pilot balloon is at point Cl, and at the next
moment of time t2 ~- at point 02 (Figure ;3(). The segment 0102: 1
represents the displacement of the pilot balloon for the interval
of time t2 - tl. The velocity of the wind for layer H2 w Hl is
therefore determined by

of azimuths.
Let us assume first of all that the errors in the determinations
of azinuths at moments tl and t2 are equal in size and sign and equal
to A ;4;. Then the projections Cl and 02 Will appear at points
Ci and C' and the triangle 00102 whose angle () is equal to the
2
difference of the azimuths will take up the position OC~C, and the
segment C1C?. will turn through the angle \ OK a In this manner the
constant error (Y.. in the determination of the wind velocity will
not show any effect, and the error in the deternii.nati.on of the
direction will. be equal to the constant error L +. r
Such an error may appear in the case of an incorrect orientation
of the theodolite If the theodolite is oriented. with an error of
about 1 to 2 degrees then the determination of the direction will not
be affected.
If the errors in the determination of azimuths are different,
this case may be reduced to that where one of the azimuths is
determined correctly and the other with an error, equal to the
difference of errors in the determination of both azimuths. In Figure
8 the segment C C2 = 1 represents the actual displacement of the

tudes of S or near 90 degrees. Inversely, the minimum value for

Let us assume that errors in the determination of the vertical
