_ KSLLOOZs Well, I don't know what the statistics are for the tops pf the thunderstoras. We have been looking at the top of the rain in the thunderstoras and it hardly ever goes above 25,000 feet, but the eloud tops go up to the tropopause,| and there sees to be cases even reported when they have penstrated the tropopause, although I az not sure how accurate the information is. I wouldn't have expected ~ thunderstorm to go above the tropopause. COONS Many of the results of the thunderstora project showed radar returns which went off the top of the measuring ra at over 10,000 feat, and these returns supposedly repre ar t precipitation in a solid fcrm snow, giving the radar re- turns above 10,000 fect. That would change the height scale on the diagraa sose, tut I think that the general conclusions would be the that the radioactive material would be pushed out the to first. I am a little unclear as to what the next variation is LONG: going to be. ‘s it going to take up the sort of extrese obvious question of what happens if you set off a bonb a good hard rainstoral? I tadn't planned on taking that up. RAPP: I was going to talk about what would happen at some much later time. f =or? a Denart nme ‘a Base soa! 47
