Exposures obtained presumably represent

light from the fireball which was scattered into the field of view by atcwospheric

haze.

This same consideration applies to exposures frou

near the edge of the frame.

These include a small portion of the fireball

The Fastax ehutter action is such that this is the

portion for which the exposure is uncertain.

Radius-tioe data from these cameras

add very little to data obtained from the wide-angle color records.

Because of

loss of the 3500 A record on Teak it was believed useful to attempt to secure

relative exposure for the 4000, 5000, apd 6500 A bands for the first 10 usec
from these records.

This requires only the assumption that exposure reduction

caused Sy shutter action is che same for all wavelengths.
The color framing cameras provided excelient qualitative and quantitative

data about the fireball structure up to about 3 seconds for Teak (Figs. 11.6
and 11.7).

In addition, a few frases demonstrate the aurora emanating north-

ward from the bomb debris as a source.

Of course, because of the cloud cover,

no data of this kind were obtained for Orange.

A Mitchell canera aboard the

CSS Boxer provided excellent coverage to several minutes after detonation for
the Orange evect (Fig. 11.8).

Two additional Mitchells located at French

Frigate Shoals produced no significant data.

This was at least partly attrid-

utable to cleud cover.
