Project 1.9 - Water Wave Studies - L. W. Kidd
TESTRUMENTATION
Studies of vater wave action generated by the detonation of lerge yield
nuclear devices are made at relatively close ranges and
at severe! distant island stations by Project 1.9.
Four shore recording wave
meceuring stations (of the Mark VIII type) were active in Bikini Lagoon for
oR ahot, In addition, Prefect 1.9 constructed and inatalled
four new type long period wave recorders on Enivetok, Ailinginse, Wake, and
Johnston Islands,
These reeorders are designed to document long period, lov
amplitude deep ocean waves of the teunemi type.
.
The recorders operate
oontinuously but only receive significant signals from the large shots.
In
addition to the above instrumentation, a tide pare was active at Ailinginse
Atoll, and Sandis Corporetion ricroberogrephic stations were operated by
Project 1.9 at Wake and Johnston.
GRSULTS
The lagoon anddeep vater long period recorders did not detect water wave
