High-Latitude and Equatorial Research Support for Predicting High-Altitude Nuclear Effects.

Abstract

This report summarizes the high-latitude and the equatorial natural ionospheric research support that has been conducted to improve and extend high-altitude nuclear predictive capability. This work marks the formal completion of the equatorial research effort. That effort has been very successful and the results are summarized in detail. The primary future effort will be directed toward auroral phenomena. The preliminary work in this area is described in the report. (Author)
