The High Altitude Sampling Program. Volume 2A. Results of Filter Analysis (Less Table 4.3 and Flight Cross-Sections).

Abstract

During HASP more than 3600 filter samples of stratospheric dust were collected and analyzed radiochemically for various constituents of radioactive debris from nuclear weapon tests. The data from these analyses are presented here in tables together with some of the important flight data from the sampling missions. Flight cross sections, on which are plotted the observed strontium-90 concentrations, are included to facilitate the visualization of the stratospheric distribution of the debris.
