Abstract: OPERATION IVY was instrumented for the mass-motion method of

pressure measurement in a manner similar to that used on OPERATIONS
BUSTER-JANGLE and TUMBLER-SNAPPER. Low-altitude pyrotechnic mortar
bursts and high-altitude gun bursts (on Mike only) labeled the air for
photographic recording. The methods of instrumentation are described,

the method of data analysis is outlined and derived data on time of

arrival, peak material velocity, peak shock velocity, and peak
overpressure are presented in tabular and graphical form. Appendixes
present meteorological and ballistic data and calculations. An
outstanding conclusion of the experiment is the lowness of peak
overpressures near the surface compared with the peak overpressures at
altitudes up to 25,000 feet because of the effect of atmospheric
inhomogeneity at long ranges. The mass-motion technique offers a useful
diagnostic tool for the determination of total hydrodynamic yield.

Abstract: The objective of Task Unit 9 was to record on film, both still
and motion picture, the activities connected with certain events and
programs of Operation Ivy. Task Unit 9 accomplished all the necessary
field photography and was still in the process of editing this footage

to form a completed motion-picture record at the time this report was

written.
