Description/Abstract:
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY INCIDENT ON GROUND-BASED ANTENNAS ON JOHNST ON ISLAND AS A RESULT OF THE FIVE HIGH-ALTITUDE NUCLEAR BURSTS OF THE FISH BOWL SERIES WAS MEASURED IN THE FREQUENCY REGIONS AROUND 925 MC, 3000 MC, AND 24,500 MC BY THE RADIOMETRIC TECHNIQUES DESCRIBED IN THIS REPORT. THE DATA, RECORDED INTERMS OF ANTENNA TEMPERATURES, ARE DIRECT LY INTERPRETABLE AS PHYSICAL TEMPERATURES OF THE THERMALLY RADIATING R EGIONS AND ALLOW THE DEDUCTION OF THE ATTENUATION ENCOUNTERED BY RADIO -FREQUENCY SIGNALS PASSING THROUGH THE BURST REGIONS. THE TIME HISTORY OF THE TEMPERATURES OF THE BURST REGION FOR THE THREE MICROWAVE FREQUE NCIES OF THE RADIOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS PRESENTED CONSIDERABLE INSIGHT I TO THE PHYSICAL PROCESSES OCCURING DURING THE HIGH-ALTITUDE EVENTS. EL ECTRON DENSITIES AND RECOMBINATION RATES HAVE BEEN DEDUCED FROM THE RA
