Description Indian Springs AFB, Nevada, April 20, 1952 -- The USAF weather station shown above is situated near the Control Point at the Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Proving Grounds. During periodic continental tests weather personnel send many helium-filled Raob (radar-observer) balloons to the upper atmosphere to check on temperatures, dew points, humidity and wind velocities as a continuing procedure for each atomic detonation. The radar tracking instrument, located on top of the test weather station, charts wind velocities and directions to determine post-detonation paths of radioactive clouds and suspended particles.
