The remote, former atomic testing grounds at the Enewetak and Bikini Atolls present a difficult environment in which to collect continuous field data. The land-based, solar-powered microprocessor and environmental data systems remotely acquire measurements of net and total solar radiation, rain, humidity, temperature, and soil-water potentials. A water flux model predicts wet season plant transpiration rates nearly equal to the 6-7 mm/d evaporation pan rate, which decreases to 2-3 mm/d for the dry season. Radioisotopic analysis confirms the microclimate-estimated 1:3 to 1:20 soil to plant /sup 137/Cs dry matter concentration ratio. 14 refs.; Major Descriptors: *GOES SATELLITES; *RADIONUCLIDE MIGRATION -- REMOTE SENSING; *SOILS -- RADIONUCLIDE MIGRATION Descriptors: ECOSYSTEMS; Broader Terms: TROPICAL REGIONS ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSPORT; MASS TRANSFER; SATELLITES Subject Categories: 510301* -- Environment, Terrestrial -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Soil -- (-1987) INIS Subject Categories: B31* 10/5/773 00815223 -- Land (Item 473 from file: EDB-81-123492 103) Title: Investigation of the atomic cloud Author(s): Garrigue, H.
