taking advantage of the telemetering already existing at
big stations all over the world.
Measturing the conductivity
would be one way of doing it.
The other obvious way would be
te measure the radioactivity.
That is, by some method of
Geiger counters properly crianted so ss to eliminate ocanic
Yadiation as auch as possible. From whet I have been sable
to gather, it is cut of the field of the second, that is, the
direct Geiger counters, a little bit out of the field ef ou
specialty - but it would appear to be rather herd to do.
It
involves quite a lot of instrumentation. We beve Looked
inte the question of measuring the conductivity in the
Upper atmosphere, and it appears that this could be done vith
fairly reasonable equipmtat, and it also appears that there is
going to be a very large change in the comiuctivity wherever
wo have changes in the radicactivity.
This will ocme out
this afternoon, perhaps, when we give a few facts and figures
about the atmospheric ion content in a radicactive cloud.
