PART 1 ~ WB-29 RAD/SAFE CODEFORCLOUD
FOR
TRACKING OPERATIONS
The code for in-flight reporting of radiation will be used in con
junction with the five digit groups normally devoted to AFOAT~1 report-
ing, Position, time and altitude will be as normally reported on
weather reconnaissance flights:
The first group of the five digits
group will be used to ericode the rediation ooservations,
Readings
and general observations are to be coded in sequence and if conformance
with the code below, Should the first five digit group not adequately
describe the report, successive five-digit groups should bo used. To
indicate such amplification, the first digit of the first five digit
group should be coded accordingly. The numbers indicated for coding
the desired information below are examples only, Formal random code
numbers will be assigned by CJIF SEVEN prior to the first shot for
successive three-hour periods starting at H-hour and terminating at H
plus 48 hours. Copies of formal code mumbors will be furnished to the
Weather Central and the operating agency,
