In addition, a broad pattern of free floating stations
(Dan buoys) extending 50 miles from zero will be instrumerited for
Shots 1, 3, 5 and 7.
The more extensive coverage for these three
events will serve the additional ;urpose of aiding the evaluation of
the Froject 6.4 experiment which is to be conducted during these same
events. In addition, 32 lagoon stations will be instrumented at
-hiWvetok for Shot Echo.

Objective
The general objectives ofthis project are identical to those
stated for Froject 2. 5a (provide |data 49 the high overpressure regions).
Different types of instrumentation will be employed with suffi-
cient overlap with Project 2.5a to provide for good correlation.
Project 2.5b instrumentation will be largely concentrated on land
areas, plus a number of lagoon raft stations;7within about 15 miles of
the Bikini detonations.
