This volume presents the results obtained from
both the flight and ground programs of Operation
Greenhouse. There are also presented some results of the
structural proof-testing program which was carried out
at the Aberdeen Proving Ground under the direction of
M.I.T. The above results of the Greenhouse Operation are
correlated with the theory that was developed by M.I.T.
for predicting the response of aircraft to a blast wave.
Many difficulties were encountered in effecting a
meaningful correlation between experiment and theory.
However, in those cases where most of the variables were
determinable, sufficient correlation is available to

950. ABSTRACT
This report is a quantitative discussion of a
possible physical mechanism of droplet growth under
conditions similar to those which are belidved to have
occurred in the base surge of the underwater explosion
(Baker Burst) at Bikini. The phenomenon is presumably at
least partly analogous to more common examples of the
development of rain within mists, or even clouds, under
appropriate meteorological conditions. The theories of
droplet growth discussed have been developed from
