950. ABSTRACT

At Operation Redwing, fallout sampling was
conducted by arrays or groups of similar c@llecting
instruments. Each array was located on the 'periphery of
an elevated and circular wind-shielded platform
designated as the standard platform. A correlation of
the sampling variations in the amounts of fallout
collected within the platforms was accomplished by the
analysis of the collection data and the platform’s
air-flow characteristics. With a single-wind system the
amount of fall-out collected in the upwind part of the
platform was lower than that collected in the downwind
section and the collections around the platform varied
symmetrically with respect to the wind direction. With a
multi-wind system, similar characteristics were
exhibited about a reference direction which was
correlated to the variability of wind directions and
associated fallout amounts by a vector summation. The
extent of sampling variation or collection bias in both
systems can be defined by certain parameters. For each
platform the values of these parameters were obtained
from the properties of a collection curve describing the
variation around the platform. Collective curves of both
systems were completed by interpolation and their
notable aspect is that they resemble sine curves. At the

only land station the sampling data between the platform

collection and the associated collection on the ground
was too limited for extrapolation to other systems.
Sampling relationships between platform collection and
associated ground collection are described for the
Single-wind system but not for the multi-wind system. At
the ship stations the equivalent ground value of the
platform collections i.e., the value that would be
collected by the earth’s surface, could not be
determined; however, the weighted mean values of some of
these platform collections are presented. 10 references.
