Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1962, both the Russians and the Americans conducted a series of high altitude nuclear explosions which and widespread geophysical effects. A study of these effects is useful to the geophysicist if it will shed light on the mechanisms responsible for similar geophysical phenomena which are noted in association with normally occurring disturbances. This paper presents a review of the effects of nuclear testing, with special emphasis on the trapped radiation, the ionosphere, and magnetic disturbances. An interpretation of these different phenomena is made. (Author).

This book was released on 1964 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present compilation is concerned only with geophysical effects produced by the high-altitude tests made in 1962, both American and Soviet . This series is of particular interest because of the creation as a result of the 'Starfish test of 9 July of an artificial radiation belt similar to the natural Van Allen belts. The extent and duration of this belt and the magnitude of other effects of the explosion greatly exceeded the results produced by earlier high-altitude nuclear tests and provided a stimulus for intensive investigation all over the world. In this bibliography, articles of a purely theoretical nature have been omitted, as have those concerned only with radioactive fallout. The total of about 170 references indicates the great interest in the subject. The largest number of articles are concerned with the Starfish explosion, since this was the earliest of the series and produced the most spectacular results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When 'The Effects of Atomic Weapons' was published in 1950, the explosive energy yields of the fission bombs available at that time were equivalent to some thousands of tons (i.e., kilotons) of TNT. With the development of thermonuclear (fusion) weapons, having energy yields in the range of millions of tons (i.e., megatons) of TNT, a new presentation, entitled 'The Effects of Nuclear Weapons, ' was issued in 1957. A completely revised edition was published in 1962 and this was reprinted with a few changes early in 1964. Since the last version of 'The Effects of Nuclear Weapons' was prepared, much new information has become available concerning nuclear weapons effects. This has come in part from the series of atmospheric tests, including several at very high altitudes, conducted in the Pacific Ocean area in 1962. In addition, laboratory studies, theoretical calculations, and computer simulations have provided a better understanding of the various effects. Within the limits imposed by security requirements, the new information has been incorporated in the present edition. In particular, attention may be called to a new chapter on the electromagnetic pulse. The material is arranged in a manner that should permit the general reader to obtain a good understanding of the various topics without having to cope with the more technical details. Most chapters are thus in two parts: the first part is written at a fairly low technical level whereas the second treats some of the more technical and mathematical aspects. The presentation allows the reader to omit any or all of the latter sections without loss of continuity."--Preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world grappling with the resurgence of nuclear threats and the ongoing exploration of space, this 1976 monograph serves as a vital reminder of the profound impact of human actions on the delicate balance of our planet and the cosmos. It compels us to confront the enduring questions surrounding the responsible use of technology, the pursuit of scientific knowledge, and the preservation of our environment for generations to come. Driven by a primal curiosity to unravel the mysteries of the universe and a deep-seated desire to safeguard our future, we must delve into the lessons of the past to navigate the complex challenges that lie ahead. This monograph provides a comprehensive review of the United States' high-altitude nuclear testing program conducted between 1955 and 1962, focusing on the environmental consequences of these tests. It meticulously details the chronology, locations, and yields of these explosions, while also delving into the complex phenomenology of weapon output interaction with the upper atmosphere. The study illuminates the formation of fireballs, energy partitioning, and debris distribution across vast distances, emphasizing the distinct differences observed at varying altitudes. The monograph examines the impact of these high-altitude tests on various aspects of human activities and the environment. The author, drawing from a wealth of scientific observations and case studies, documents the effects on radio communications, satellite operations, and the creation of artificial radiation belts. The text analyzes the occurrence of phenomena like flash blindness, eyeburn hazards, and disruptions to communication networks, highlighting the severity of these impacts, especially following the high-yield Teak and Orange events. Furthermore, the study addresses concerns regarding the potential effects of high-altitude explosions on weather patterns, the depletion of the ozone layer, and the persistence of radioactive tracers in the stratosphere. While acknowledging the apprehension that initially surrounded these tests, the author concludes by highlighting the substantial scientific insights gained from these high-altitude experiments. He argues that these tests, while not without their drawbacks, ultimately contributed significantly to our understanding of atmospheric physics, plasma dynamics, and the complex interplay between nuclear detonations and the Earth's magnetosphere. This annotated edition illustrates the capabilities of the AI Lab for Book-Lovers to add context and ease-of-use to manuscripts. It includes several types of abstracts, building from simplest to more complex: TLDR (one word), ELI5, TLDR (vanilla), Scientific Style, and Action Items; essays to increase viewpoint diversity, such as Grounds for Dissent, Red Team Critique, and MAGA Perspective; and Notable Passages and Nutshell Summaries for each page.
