availability of meteorological data than by any actual c
sideration of the cloud.
This cylinder of cloud was th
assuzed to be torn by shear, expand at some slow rate an
100% of all the materials that cam in contact with a ra
area was considered to be deposited on the ground iase
tely.
Thisstudy was the only one to ay knowledge in ¥
many boabs were considered,
Colonel] Eolszan was trying
estimate the hazards froa a canpaign of bombs in a ssall
area.
There are several things with due apology to Colonel
Holzman, that are wrong with this.
One, the cylinder ef
atomic debris did not extend uniformly froa 20,000 feet
down to the ground.
it is generally higher than this
go when the RAND stody was made, I can call this the ¥ar
I ¥odel for scavenging of rain, we took a cylinder and
expanded it assuming that the zaterial was homogeneously
distributed through this cylinder.
#e considered the
observed height of the cloud, expanded it horizontally
vertically and assumed that all the material below the
-15° isotherm was brought down to the ground in the fora
rain,
Se didn’t take into account the shear of the wind,
so that was one thing that was missing.
Then the people Froa
AIS&P worked on the problem and they said well it is any
to consider all the material brought dom as soon as it hits
the rain and they allowed for a finite tine of scavenging
