...told all they know about the Chinese test, presumably because disclosure would divulge too much about their detection methods, which are extremely efficient. They predicted the blast weeks in advance, reported it almost as soon as it happened, named its fissionable material, estimated its energy and followed the spreading cloud of radioactivity as it circled the Northern Hemisphere on the fast westerly winds that prevail at high altitudes...
...radio segment of the spectrum. They travel great distances, guided around the curve of the earth by ionized layers in the upper atmosphere, and they are not difficult to detect. The explosion-born pulse of radio waves disappears quickly, but another radio effect lingers on. As the mushroom cloud climbs into the stratosphere, its radioactivity releases a vast number of electrons that ionize a mass of air and turn it into a radio wave reflector. This air mass shows up on long-distance radars, and it may distort radio waves coming from beyond it. A combination of all these long...
...That's formed a little cloud above me that's started to descend and has tightened me up in practice the last two weeks...
...Ominous Cloud. In addition to Lucia, the Met is mounting new productions of Samson et Delila and Salome.
