9. RaDEXe
The KOOM air radex is attached as appendix IT, Because of the yield
of KOON the classical radex procedure was used in this post-shot revisica.
The technique considers the cloud to be essentially a point scurce in all
dimensions other than in a vertical direstion. The radex proved to be 4
reasonably accurate for.vcast of the conditions subsequently observed in |
the sampling and tracicing operstions.
