Abstract: A worldwide network of gummed-film stations was established to
monitor fallout following Operation Castle. Although meteorological
data were poor, a general connection of tropospheric flow patterns with
observed fallout was evident. There was a tendency for debris to remain
in tropical latitudes, with incursions into the temperate regions

associated with meterological disturbances of the predominately zonal

flow. As the season advanced, such incursions became more evident.
Outside of the tropics, the southwestern United States received the
greatest total fallout, about five times that received in Japan. The
total world-wide fallout up to July 1, 1954, from the Castle series
outside of the immediate test areas, is estimated to be about
(censored) of the total fission activity produced. The maximum fallout
on any day at an individual station in the United States, corrected to
Sampling day, was 200,000 d/m/sq. ft. It is concluded that the
probability of early fallout in inhabited regions would be reduced by
holding Pacific test series in the winter months.
