ABSTRACT 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 801. justify the theory.

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 90033495 OFFICIAL USE ONLY
