on it than waa the case for the Spring of 1953 -- this in spits
of the fact that mich more radioactivity was produced in the
Pacific tests.
Observations have shown that the debris dis-
persed rapidly throughout the tropics with incursions into the
temperate latitudes of both hemispheres.
Only relatively light
concentrations of debris occurred away from the immediate vicinity
of the explosions.
Foreign countries have also had their weather anomalios:
Below normal rainfali in Germany and northern Europe, floods in
the Danube basin, unusually rainy weather in Japan, and so forth.

If bomb debris affected the weather and if the debris had played
@ meesurable role in the precipitation process ag ig claimed by
some, one might expect that weather forecasters who were not avara
of the Pacific tests when their predictions were made would have
produced poorer forecasts.

Om the contrary, however, there has been
no departure during the Spring of 1954 from the normal expectations
of accuracy in weather prediction which has been established in previous
