Meteorological study of the course of radioactive debris

Pages 434-440 | Received 11 Oct 1965, Published online: 15 Dec 2016
 

Abstract

An attempt has been made to follow the course of radioactive debris produced during nuclear explosions by drawing trajectory lines where the probability of finding the radioactive cloud is greatest. The paths are circumpolar and the highest speeds of displacement correspond to the speeds of polar jets. The course of these hypothetical trajectories has been observed at several stations.DOI: 10.1111/j.2153-3490.1966.tb00255.x
