Abstract:

A feasibility study was conducted on the development of a new nuclearweather data processing technique to provide a means of detecting and analyzing nuclear clouds or slow, small changes in weather patterns. When used with a radar set such as the ANTPS-41XE-1, this nuclearweather cloud indicator will receive radar weather data, store the data on magnetic tape, and compare it with real-time information for both short and long-time comparisons. The difference between real-time and stored data, as displayed by the indicator unit, represents changes in the weather pattern or the instantaneous occurrence of a nuclear cloud. Author
