| Abstract: | The rise of a hot cloud resulting from combustion of a solid propellant rocket fuel at ground level has been determined from lapse-time movies and visual aircraft observations. The field tests were conducted near the 420 foot meteorological tower under various atmospheric conditions. A method of predicting the maximum thermal rise of a cloud, based on source and meteorological parameters, is described. Comparisons with other theoretical formulations are presented. |
