-3and anemometer.
It is considered desirable to
construct at least two of these units together
with apvropriate recorders, in order to obtain
measurements at more than one level.
Such data
would be useful in items (1) and (2).
Additional developmental work in recorders
and data processing equipment is also planned.

Radioactivity in Meteorological Measurements -
A review of the literature clearly indicates that
the potential usefulness of radioactive isotopes
in measuring meteorological variables has received
little attention.
The Brookhaven facilities offer
unusual opportunities for research of this type.
The first step in this investigation would entail
consultation with members of other depvartments to
determine the most promising lines of approach to
achieve the following measurements:
