will have the skiffs that Dr. Isaacs mentioned.
These will have total collectors
on them, and time of arrival instruments. They'll also have an instrument for
measuring intensity with depth, belonging to Scripps Institution. In the distance

between 30 and 100 miles, we will be operating two ships (converted Liberty type)
called the YAGs

39 and 40.

Most of you are probably familiar with them as the

"disappearing YAGs", On the nearest of these YAGs, (the one that is in the

highest intensity fallout area), we will have what we call a "standard array" of
instruments mounted, They will be up on the king-post to avoid spray and stack
gases,
The following instruments will be mounted on that: four open close

collectors (to be opened just before fallout starts and closed
just afterwards
so that we can have undisturbed samples), two total collectors (these just
simply collect everything), and an intensity time recorder which records gamra

radiation. There will be an instrumental collector which collects fallout over
pre-set timing areas. There will be an anemometer and that type of thing. We
will have the whole platform shielded in order to avoid bias, These barges that
I mentioned will have that array of instruments on them, and also both YAGs will
have that array. Out 100 to 200 miles, we will have an LST operating, and this

too will have a standard array of instruments,

On the YAG 40, we will have a

special instrumental collector that's designed to collect fallout and then, by
a sort of dumb waiter system, to deliver this below deck to a shielded laboratory
‘that we will have on the YAG, There we hope to make some early time studies that
we feel are very badly needed - the "K" measurements and gamma spectrum. With
time and personnel permitting, we hope to make similiar measurements on Baker.
This will be done during fallout and samples that are delivered to the laboratory,

will be during this actual fallout.

Also, on the YAG, we hope to be making measure-

ments that will complement Scripps! measurements in regard to water sampling and
oceanographic survey. We hope to make both surface measurements and also measurements of intensity with depth. We hope that certain of these measurements will
also be applicable to the aerial survey, since they measure intensity of an
altitude and this is a function of the activity in the surface layer. We hope to
give them information on that surface layer along with Scripps in order to tie
their information together. The ships, in general, will be directed to near
their locations about H-12, and then we have to keep in touch with a central
command group that we hope to have in a central location with the Task Group
Command ship. On the basis of later wind data, we can direct the ships to their
final locations.

It can be very great, of course, maybe 30 miles or something

like that. At that location, they will then maintain position until the completion
of fallout, perhaps some period afterwards. What we are attempting to do here is
that in checking model theory, of course, contour data is absolutely fundamental.
We hope to provide the supplementary contour data in the lagoon for close distances.
However, there is another possible approach too, This is if one can collect at
some known point in the fallout pattern, it is a function then of particle diameter, if these points are chosen properly, in the fallout pattern, we feel that
it is possible to distinguish gross differences in model theories. In other words,
all the theories apply the same basic laws of motion as aerodynanics of small
particles, and somehow come out with different answers.

This, of course, is

because of different assumptios. These assumptions may result in gross differences
of patterns that we hope to be able to distinguish by these fine collection
