LOWER IONOSPHERIC EFFECTS NEAR THE CONJUGATE POINT OF THE 9 JULY 1962 HIGH- ALTITUDE EXPLOSION
Journal Article

· New Zealand J. Geol. Geophys.
For a period of 60 seconds after the explosion above Johnston Island, absorption of 42 Mc radio waves occurred in the conjugate area. The observations can be explained on the basis of ionization by decay electrons from neutrons emitted frorn the explosion material. An electron concentration of not less than 4 x 10/sup 4/ per cm/sup 2/ during the first few seconds after detonation occurred at about 70 km in the conjugate area. (auth)
