High-Altitude Nuclear Weapon Effects Part One - Phenomenology - 1963 - 20:53 - Color -
When nuclear weapons are detonated at high altitudes, they cause dramatic changes in the
atmosphere and ionosphere. In a very technical presentation, this video discusses such
things as the interactions of electrons and positive ions and shows the electromagnetic
regions and how they carry electrical charges from one hemisphere to another. The video
also discusses how there is much information unknown about nuclear explosions at extremely
high altitudes, especially above 250 kilometers, where there is less atmospheric
resistance.
