Rh102 and Cd109 were used as high-altitude tracers. Rh102 was injected in an air burst at about 43 km above Johnston Island on August 11, 1958. Concentrations at about 20 km showed a large increase in the late fall and winter of 1959 in the northern hemisphere. Tropospheric air concentrations at about 5 km did not reflect this increase until the spring of 1961. The Cd109 tracer was injected at 400 km on July 9, 1962, and is expected to appear at sampling altitudes in the fall of 1963. (auth)
