Geomagnetic Effects Associated with the High-Altitude Nunlear Exctricity


Yamaguchi, Y.


Abstract

 Since Aug. 1958, the high-altitude nuclear explosions have been made several times in the Mid-Pacific Ocean and /or the Atlantic Ocean by the United States. Among them, the experiment on July 9, 1962 affected the geomagnetic field over the world. The details of the effects, observed at Kakioka, Memambetsu and Kanoya are described.
  The mechanism of this disturbance is discussed from the dynamo theoretical stand point and the effective total conductivity is estimated. The effects of the experiments in November, 1962 are attached.
