Project Pre-Gondola I: Cloud Development Studies.

Abstract

The clouds resulting from four 20-ton nitromethane cratering explosions in a wet clay shale medium were studied by photographic analysis and lidar (laser-radar) tracking. A technique for detecting tracers in future events in the same medium was investigated. (Author)
