PROJECT FIREFLY 1960. VOLUME 1. MASS TRANSPORT SPECTROPHOTOMETRY RELEASE CHEMICAL PHYSICS

Abstract

Project Firefly 1960, the upper atmosphere chemical release program of the Geophysics Research Directorate, has provided a systematic study of several types of upper atmosphere perturbations. Reports on reduced and interpreted data from a number of optical and radio-frequency stations were prepared and published as a special GRD report. A preliminary crosscorrelation of that information is presented. The information consists of an introduction, special sections on missile trails and weapon effects, and sections on groups of releases: night point electron, sunlit point electron, cesium trail, high explosive, electron removal, cobalt particles, hydrocarbon, and alumina particles.
