Abstract

An experimental technique has been established for measuring the rise of a plume from a stack, the ground‐level concentrations produced and the rates of deposition of dust emitted in the plume. It can be applied over distances where plumes from power stations are not normally visible. It can be used to give a result before weather and station conditions have changed appreciably and therefore produces information which can conveniently be compared with theoretical estimates.

In spite of the availability of satellites, the possiblity of increasing basic knowledge of cosmic radiation with the help of balloons has not diminished. New detection techniques have made it possible to enter new areas of study which had been closed earlier. The use of stratosphere balloons in th
