Blast Mtg Notes, 29 Dac 51 There will be a meeting here in January with a group of sela~ mologists to discuss possible damage to the Atoll, ond Ogle suggested that this question also be taken up with them at this time. Cox agreed. He would like to arrange to alert some of the existing stations, and then discusa with the seismologists the question of whether other stations should be set up. — H. Microbarometric Studies Cox is now studying maps of the Pacific to find real estate for these studies. No locations have yet been picked; Sandia will let us know when they are decided. The various layers of the atmosphere may be pictured somewhat as in Fig. 1. A balloon will be sent up to mensure temperature to about 50,000 ft. Next, one must eatablish the ozonospbere layer in order to do anything with the higher layers. The other stations will be located out far in order to get some information on the layers above the ozunusphere. Distances of the orde, of 1500 - 1800 miles are being thought of. One must pick places where real estate exista and where one can get waves back down in quantity from the high altitude layers. co oem nee euieceetos tenth A Sarena _ POOR Cox felt that radio communications were essential, and that the stations could not be operated without communications. This may be aproblem. _FF \ Region of interest in ' punching holes in atmosphe .: j)Measurement here Measurement here Fig. l
