Albuquerque,

NM

(USA)

Blast waves from explosions are ducted and
refracted back to ground by a high-temperature stratum
near 50-kilometer altitudes. Recordings of sounds from
atomic tests have been analyzed to show temperatures and
winds near the top of the duct which are necessary to
give observed sound patterns. Results show temperatures
between 30 and 50 kilometers in Nevada must be 30 to 50
degrees Centigrade higher than observed by rocketry
techniques. Temperatures in the Eniwetok area are about
20 degrees Centigrade cooler than in Nevada. Several
possible reasons for this discrepancy have been reviewed
