Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States Abstract: This is the first in a series of reports dealing with the results of a major DNA program coordinating rocket, satellite, and ground-based equatorial studies at Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. This report concentrates on the NRL contribution to the overall program, the direct measurement of the ionospheric plasma state as determined by on-board pulsed-plasma-probe (P3) observations of electron energies, densities, and density fluctuation power spectra. In particular, the authors .describe their newly developed data acquisition system which acquired and displayed in real-time the ionospheric electron density profile as it was being measured by the P3 technique during the rocket flight .; Major Descriptors: *IONOSPHERE -- ELECTRON DENSITY Descriptors: DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS; ELECTRONS; ENERGY; F REGION; FLUCTUATIONS; PLASMA; ROCKETS; SPECTRA Broader Terms: EARTH ATMOSPHERE; ELEMENTARY PARTICLES; FERMIONS; IONOSPHERE ; LEPTONS; VARIATIONS Subject Categories: Ionospheric, 10/5/952 640201* -- Atmospheric Physics -- Auroral, & Magetospheric Phenomena (Item 652 from file: 00392781 103) INS-78-012007; NTS-78-063395; ERA-03-043694; EDB-78-091961 Author(s): Greenhouse, N.A.; Miltenberger, R.P.

Sufficient data were available to ascertain realistic dose predictions for the inhabitants of Rongelap and Utirik Atolls where the 30 year integral doses from external sources exclusive of background radiation were 0.65 and 0.06 rem respectively. These estimates are based on realistic life-style models based on observations of* each atoll community. Ailuk and Wotje Atolls were found to be represenatives of regional background radiation levels.; Major Descriptors: *HUMAN POPULATIONS -- RADIATION DOSES; *MARSHALL ISLANDS -- HUMAN POPULATIONS Descriptors: EXTERNAL IRRADIATION; FALLOUT DEPOSITS; GAMMA SOURCES; NATURAL RADIOACTIVITY; TIME DEPENDENCE co Broader Terms: DOSES; FALLOUT; IRRADIATION; ISLANDS; POPULATIONS; RADIATION?
