The Introduction from A Program to Calculate Winds Aloft using a Hewlett-Packard 25 Hand Calculator, Brian W. Finke, National Weather Service (NOAA), FEB 1977.

This program, utilizing the Hewlett-Packard 25 hand calculator, was originally intended for fire weather mobile unit use at going fires where time and space are at a premium. No new theory has been developed. The tangent plane approximation is the only compromise; but within the accuracy of the observations, this approximation results in no error.
