HIGH-ALTITUDE NUCLEAR DETONATION OPTICALINFRARED EFFECTS

Abstract

Optical-IR radiation data were obtained on Shots Star Fish Prime, Check Mate, Blue Gill Triple Prime, King Fish, and Tight Rope from both aircraft stations and Johnston and Maui Island stations. The spectral radiance observed by each channel for each shot is presented in graphical form as a functio of time. In general, data are presented from approximately H + 25 msec to as lng as a signal above background was observed. No data on the initial pulse (H + 0.5 msec to approximately H + 25 msec) are shown.
