Project 1.10 ~ Vegetation Studies - A. D. Thornbrough = SC
To determine the differences in overpressure, dynamic pressure, and sound
speed over cleared sandy land and over vegetated areas. Project will measure
overpressure, dynamic pressure and sound speed at equal distances from GZ over
cleared sandy land and over land fairly well covered with vegetation. We will
use Wiancko pressure gauges and Pitot tubes with the addition of the whistle
gauge used on past operations. The recording system will be the same as used on
Operation TEAPOT. A total of 17 channels ~- nine "P", four "Q" and four sound
speed will be instrumented, These will be instrumented for the Ruby shot with
instrumentation on Pearl. There will be a shelter built on Pearl, and there will
be a total of five men in the FA from April 1 thru the shots.
