:. $a: Locations of Centers of Rising Atomic Clouds wee a The small circles within tha solid black line show the position of the top After creraring the rates of rise curves for the three atomic clouds, the curved were used to daternine the combined effect of the uprer winds on the rising of the cloud at each 5,000 foot elevation and the dashed arrow is a vector represent- clouds. ing the total movement in miles and the direction of the cloud top from the test site, If the »osition of a cloud top at the time that it reached highest altitude as dotermined from the rate of rise curve and the winds is a.proximitely the some ag The sracing between the concentric circles is ,4 of a pile in the case of that commuted from the heifpht of Lhe troporeugse and the theodolito dati, it 1a reason- the <HAY DAY diagram and 1 mile on the other two diagrams, able to asoume that tue actual vosition of the top wag somewhere close to those points.
