Dear Colonel Slater:
Thanks very much for the weather information that you passed to
Colonel Houghton who, in turn, sent the data on to me, The information is more than we needed, but I was very happy to get the additional
weather data from the point of view of my own interest in the meteorology
of the Mershalls, Actually all that was required was the observed wind
and trajectory information for shot time.
Let me sympathize with you for your horribly difficult wind provtem,
When I was weather officer at the Sandstone Test, I recommended against
use of the Marshall Islands for further tcsts from the wind and clang |
standpoint, But, then I suppose if one waits long cnough there arc”
occasional situations when the winds are suitable,
Best regards, and thanks again for your cooperation in giving me
the neccessary weather data,
Sincerely,
B. G, HOLZMAN
