photocubes for detecting the second thermal peak were tested and were

found about equally satisfactory. The method selected for yield
determination gave results accurate + or - 16% for five shots. Detailed
study of the data showed that the electromagnetic signal, consisting of
a direct pulse followed by a series of ionosphere-reflected sky waves,
could be used in many waves to give information concerning the
detonation and the ionsphere. From the time intervals between the
ground wave and sky waves, it was foun possible to compute both the

distance between and receiver and the height of the reflecting
ionosphere layer.

Abstract: The high-resolution ultraviolet and visible spectra of typical
test nuclear detonations up to and including Operation Ivy were
analyzed and compared. Topics studied include the types of atomc and
molecular material observed

(with calculations,

in some cases,

of the

relative quantities involved), the ultraviolet cutoff, and rotational
temperatures. Variation of these quantities with the radiochemical
yield of the bomb is indicated.
