STUDY OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY, PHYSICAL STATE AND MOTION OF THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE.
Abstract
The primary objectives of the contract were to gather photographic data from chemical releases which took place from rockets, and to analyze these data in terms of physical state and motion of the upper atmosphere. The data derived from the photographs have been used to determine horizontal and vertical winds, turbulence, diffusion and wind shears in the upper atmosphere. In addition to data reduction, a major portion of the contract efforts were devoted to development of equipment and the utilization of this equipment on field trips to Eglin Air Force Base, Florica and Cape Kennedy. Seven articles have been published covering the technical aspects of the work and one has been submitted for publication. Hence, this final report is essentially a compilation of abstracts from the published articles. (Author)
