Spread F Development associated with a High-Altitude Nuclear Explosion
Ionospheric phenomena associated with the high-altitude thermonuclear explosion over Johnston Island on July 9, l962, were monitored in Sydney, Australia, using a panoramic ionosonde that provided ionograms made by a 15-sec linear scan over a frequency range of 0.5 to 9.5 Mc/s at a rate of one every minute. A rapid development of spread F was observed which is ascribed to the explosion. (L.T.W.)
