Comments on "The secular increase of the world-wide fine particle pollution."

Expert InsightsPublished 1964

A recent paper by R. Gunn in the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences presented results of shipboard measurements of the electrical conductivity of the atmosphere over the Atlantic Ocean. It is shown that his data permit inferences about possible secular alterations in the radioactive contamination of the global air envelope from the explosions of nuclear and thermonuclear devices in the atmosphere. The findings are consistent with earlier indications that the true air conductivity has returned to normal values at some time after each series of nuclear tests.
