Description/Abstract:
THIS REPORT DESCRIBES THE WEATHER SERVICE NUCLEAR SUPPORT OFFICE (WSNS, O) ANALYSES OF THE RADIOLOGICAL AND METEOROLOGICAL DATA COLLECTED FOR ,THE NANCY NUCLEAR TEST OF OPERATION UPSHOT-KNOTHOLE. INCONSISTENCIES ,IN THE RADIOLOGICAL DATA AND THEIR RESOLUTION ARE DISCUSSED. THE METH, ODS OF NORMALIZING THE RADIOLOGICAL DATA TO A STANDARD TIME, OF CONVER, TING AERIAL RADIOLOGICAL DATA TO EQUIVALENT GROUND-LEVEL VALUES, AND O, F ESTIMATING FALLOUT ARRIVAL TIMES ARE PRESENTED. THE METEOROLOGICAL S, ITUATION ON THE EVENT DAY AND A FEW DAYS FOLLOWING IS DESCRIBED. A COM, PARISON OF THE WSNSO FALLOUT ANALYSIS WITH AN ANALYSIS PERFORMED DURIN, G THE 1950'S IS PRESENTED. THE RADIOLOGICAL DATA USED TO DERIVE THE WS, NSO FALLOUT PATTERN ARE TABULATED IN AN APPENDIX.
