Fxmm a meteorologicalpoint of view, the choice of the site of Eniwetok Atoll as a pe~nt atomic weapons proving ground is not a particularly good one. From a meteorologicalstandpoint, there are three basic requirementsfor a suitable site for atozd.cbomb experinmnts. These are: (a) There should be a reasonable frequency of occurrence of cloud or weather conditions to meet the operational requirementsfor the experiment. Thus, if it is essential to have clear skies for the test, a reasonable percentage of clear sky rays should be recoded in the climatic record for the site. Or if it is desirable to explode the bomb in a rainstorm, a reasonable frequency of occurrence of rdnatoxus should be recorded. (b) Wimi coalitions from the surface to stratospheric levels should be such that there can be no possibility of subjectingpereomel to radiologicalhazards or SECTION RI 65 .
