Measurements of the gamma -ray dose due to distributed sources were made to study the absorption and scattering at the air-ground interface. Doses were determined at varying heights and radial distances from a gamma source on the ground. The source used was Cs/sup 137/, since its gamma -ray energy (0.66 Mev) is close to the average energy of gamma ray-s from fission "fall-out." Some of the more important results of these measurements are compared with Berger-s (1957) calculations for Co/sup 60/. (B.O.G.)
