A series of LNG spill experiments (Burro series) were conducted at the Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, California. This report presents observations and analysis of data obtained from Burros 2 through 9. Topics discussed include the interaction of the wind field and gas cloud, LNG vapor dispersion, ground heat transfer, humidity enhancement, differential boiling of LNG, and rapid phase transitions (RPTs).
