This report documents the activities of the Air Resources Laboratory-Las Vegas (ARL-LV) in support of Project SCHOONER. The participation of ARL-LV in Safety Program is stressed, but the full scope of objectives and functions is covered. A description is given of observational facilities used to provide weather services. Weather predictions and fallout estimates issued for the project as well as procedures and techniques are discussed. A comparison of predicted and observed weather and fallout is made. The results of these activities will serve as a basis for planning and participating in future projects. 2 refs., 17 figs.
