Abstract: The purpose of this project was to record continuous measurements

of the surface winds in the vicinity of an atomic blast immediately

prior to the blast,

during passage of the shock wave,

and immediately

after the blast with special regard to the blast-induced afterwind

following local dissipation of the shock wave. From the data obtained,
it was concluded that following an atomic explosion there are two
specific causes of air-mass movement. One is related to the shock
phenomenon and the other to the rising fireball. It can also be
concluded that the heated-thermopile-type and strain-gage-type
anemometers could be developed to yield more complete data on the
air-mass movement at ground level following an atomic explosion.

Abstract: The cloud-physics project was primarily intended to fulfill a
requirements for detailed information on the meteorological
microstructure of atomic clouds. By means of a tracking and
photographic network extending halfway around Eniwetok Atoll, the
behavior of the first three clouds of Operation Greenhouse were
observed and recorded. The rise of the fourth cloud was observed
visually from only one site. The analysis of these observations,
combined with information about the local weather conditions, gives a

fairly complete picture of the development of each of the clouds.
