Scientific meteorological information Corporate Source: Publication Date: Report Number(s): Joint Task Force Seven, 1948 p 316 Washington, DC (USA) AD-A-995340/7/XAB Document Type: Report Language: English Journal Announ@ement: EDB8611 Availability: NTIS, PC Al4/MF AOl. Subfile: ERA (Energy Research Abstracts). Country of Origin: United States GRA (NTIS NTS) Country of Publication: United States Abstract: This report is concerned primarily with the data collected on the visible atomic clouds. The meteorological observations are those for the test days only. The amounts of energy released by the bombs are considered only insofar as they affect the atomic cloud formations. The phenomena described are those that could be seen or photographed. The XRAY Day weapon appeared to release somewhat more energy than did the air burst at Bikini; the YOKE Day weapon was somewhat more violent than that of XRAY Day; and the ZEBRA Day weapon was perhaps less violent than the ABLE Day bomb. The ZEBRA Day cloud attained a much lower altitude than either the XRAY or the YOKE Day clouds.

Special vehicles for Operation Sandstone Corporate Source: USAEC, Washington, DC Publication Date: 1948 p 44 Report Number(s): AD-A-995325/8/XAB Document Type: Report Language: English Journal Announcement: EDB8611 Availability: NTIS, PC A03/MF AOl. Subfile: BRA (Energy Research Abstracts). GRA (NTIS NTS) Country of Origin: United States Country of Publication: United States , Abstract: Two tanks (type M-5) were modified and provided with radio control equipment so that these tanks could be directed by remote control to a designated spot and a sample of earth procured in a scoop mounted on the front of the vehicle. Control transmitters were provided so that the vehicles could be operated from a distance, either from a Stationary; platform or from a helicopter in flight. The special tanks performed satisfactorily and accomplished the mission for which they were designed. However, the operation demonstrated that changes in the design of the vehicles are desirable. For any future operation under Similar conditions, a lighter, wide-track vehicle, is recommended. 9003303
