(ec) Dynamic systems of forecasting fallow using air.
particle trajectory analyses ond progressive forecasts of wind patterns in
accorjanos with time and displacement aspecte of the cloud, were found to

be feasible within the tine limitations of an operational decision, Practi-~
cal methods were divised to apnly such « system to the last three CASTLE
ahcts for a valid forecast period of H to H plus 24 hours.

(4) air RADEX plotting for # to H plus 6 hours was used
to advantage to define exclusion areas for cperational aireraft and for de-

fining appropriate areas for cloud sampling,

(e) CASTLE data and efforts were sufficient to support
profitable interim studies on new forecasting techniques andi refinementa cf
current systeas for the development of reliable fall-out predictions,
d.. Dosimetry

(1) The routine Maximum Permiseible Expoeure (MP3) of 3.99for
the operation was inadequate, in some cases, for ths cumber and yields of
the shots detonated,

(2) The special MPS of 20m for crew osmbers of cloud sampling
aircraft wag adequate, .

(3) In recogniticn °f the inadequacy of the routine MPE, authorisation was requested from, and granted by, the Surgeens General of the three
Services emi by the- Director, Division of Biology and Medicine, AEC to revise
the MPE through waiver from the Task Force Commander in individually desig-e
nated cases when circumstances indicated the need and justification therefor.
This authority, exercised for a relatively few mumber

of individuals, was

adequate for the completion of essential CASTLES missions.
