Thanks
@wellerstein, powerful compilation showing the development of the cloud -
I like that sequence also because it shows you how radically different the cloud looks at different timescales. Seen individually, without a lot of attention to the geography, you might not realize they were the same test, seconds apart.

In case you never read the report: Report of a New Zealand, Australian, and Papua New Guinea Scientific Mission to Mururoa Atoll Publisher: NZ Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1984) I posted a scanned pdf here: https://www.facebook.com/download/preview/726761754376498 …

I didn’t scan the whole document, only 49 out of about 180 pages (My personal copy – sorry about the highlighting). The pdf file is 29 MB. Included is the whole Health Physics section by lead author Dr Andrew C. McEwan, Director, National Radiation Laboratory, Christchurch NZ

Dr McEwan sent me the report back in 1988. Searching Google suggests it might be available – although the Amazon link says it’s “currently unavailable”.
