The research carried out included a theoretical
calculation of the absorption coefficients of air for

Operation Redwing was made concerning light absorption

explosions. Experimental studies were made by the
observation of spectra under shock tube conditions to
ascertain optical properties

As a part of the 1957 Office of Naval Research
survey of Eniwetok Atoll,

seismic measurements

were made to determine the bottom reflectich
coefficients on the outside southwest slope of the
atoll. The values of the reflection coefficients are low
and irregular and have been related to bottom structure.
Reflections from several very thin shallow layers and
from deeper layers were observed indicating a submarine
geology agreeing with that found previously by other
