THE ANALYSIS OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF CHEMILUMINESCENT TRAILS IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE.

Abstract

Photographs of chemiluminescent trails that were released in the upper atmosphere by AFCRL were quantatively reduced. The data obtained from two-dimensional isodensity plots were used to calculate the resultant diffusion coefficients at several altitudes from three of these trails. A photographic masking technique was used to remove density variations on the films caused by the sky background. (Author)
