BASE SURGE MEASUREMENTS BY PHOTOGRAPHY

Abstract

The major objective of Project 1.1c was the study of base surge phenomena on the Operation CASTLE shots by means of photography. No pictures of base surges were obtained, but aerial photographs for other projects indicated that base surges might have formed at times when the illumination was inadequate for surface photography. This cannot be established with certainty. Radar scope photography proved to be useful for indicating the region of heavy fallout. Further studies of this type would be recommended only for tests conducted during daylight hours.
