... On the Modification of the Upper Atmosphere by SPS..

(b) Jetting of plasma across magnetic field lines was observed visually after Starfish. The phenomena could not be diagnosed quantitatively at that time; the distance traveled by the jetted material and the temperature, density, etc., of the material are not known. Thus, we recommend that a low priority should be assigned to the study of nuclear tests for SPS evaluation purposes.
