mptrical equations are developed from correlations of fallout
data for estimating the composition of fallout fram detonations on
land or at sea as a function of weapon yield and type, height of burst,
and other parameters. The compositions are given in texts of the two
contour-ratios defined in Part I of this study,* namely, the mass con-

tour ratio and the fraction-of-device contour ratio. The effect of
weapon yield, dowmvind distance from ground zero, induced activities,

fraction of fission yield, height of burst, fractionation, terrain
features, instrument response, extraneous debris, and meteorology on
the values of the two contour ratios is discussed.
