A RADIOACTIVE FALL-OUT STUDY AT MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
Journal Article
·
· Tellus (Sweden)
Measurements of the radioactive fall-out occurring in weekly rainfall samples at Melbourne (Aspendale) are presented for the period June 1958 to February 1959. Radioactive decay analyses show the activity to have arisen from nuclear weapons tests carried out near the equator during the period April to September 1958. The results indicate that. despite presumably continuous dispersion, individual radioactive clouds maintain their discreteness and a limited E-W extent even after 6 or 9 months residence in the stratosphere. This property allows a poleward drift speed of order l m/sec and zonal circulation velocities ranging from 6 to 17 m/sec to be inferred. (Public Health Eng. Abstr. 40 (1960) Dec.)
