The report also synthesizes a value for the total number of striations, a radius probability distribution and the spatial area / volume con tained within the striations from the exponential fit; (in thi s synthesi s , the striations are assumed to have Gaussian e lectron density profiles). On this basis, a volume emission from the striated region is d t e rmined from which an estimate can be made of the on-axis striation el ctron density.

PREFACE
Many individuals from various research organizations contributed
to the success of this study. To these individuals we are very grateful.
The work was aided by several archival documents provided by Mr. Ed Mar-
tin of DASIAC, GE TEMPO. These documents, as well as useful discussions
with Drs. John Zinn and David Simons of LASL, J-10 Division, provided
useful background information. We also wish to thank Dr. Walter Ches-
nut of SRI International for providing the Canton Island film and some of
the results of his geometric analysis of this film. Perhaps the most sig-
nificant influence on the contents of this report were discussions held
with Dr. Herman Hoerlin of LASL and Lt. Col. Robert Bigoni and Capt. Leon
Wittwer of DNA. Capt. Wittwer's review and comments on some of the pre-
liminary computer results were most appreciated.

SU~.ARY
In this report we have au.aarized results of derived parameters
of aiaple analytic repreHntationa of spatial frequency spectra that
aroH frca relative radiance •aaure~~~enta of STMFISH striations as
recorded on film at canton Ialand. We have triec! to establish a tU.
and altitude dependence of the pc:II'Mr spectra. Study of the presented
data reveals that it ia not obvious that such a dependence exists in
the tt.e period and location of our analyaia. It could very well be,
that at th ... late U.a, the striation rec)ion, which h far nmoved
fraa the burst location, is substantially the .... and regions with
in this striation vol~ of different character, which ought to be
described by different PSDs, do not exist. In any event, the data i&
presented in sufficient detail to allow review by others, as to the
existence of possible tt.e/altitude effects on the determined PSOs.
The prime purpose of these .. asurements was to establish the
power spectral density from the striation properties and detcnnine
if theH striation propertiee would restrict the PSD to a relatively
et.ple analytic fora. It is clear from the presented results how
well this can be achieved by a single power law or a single exponential
fit. It is also Shown how a better fit to the data is achieved by
a two-term exponential fit. Although tt. did not allow a review of
the data in teniS of a similar two-ten~ power law fit, it is certain
that very good representation of the STARFISH PSDs would be achieved
from such a two-term expression.

PPWP^ ■•■■■WMP*^
In any event, an adequate simple power law of the PSD description
of the STARFISH Canton Island striation region is allowable. Our endeavor
to fit all the data by one single power law expression forces the selec-
tion of a large L value (as shown in the presented, tabulated data) for
the outer scale size. If one eliminates the cteep PSD data at very small
k values (k > 0.02 radians/km) as being spurious (since we at present do
not understand the cause of this initial PSD shape), a single power law
expression yields an outer scale size value of L between 40 and 100 km/rad
(see Figure 4.1). The slope of the linear portion of the PSD has a value
of about 2.0.
In summary, it appears that a reasonable fit to the stochastic rad-
iance fluctuations observed from Canton after the Starfisn test is a simple
power law PSD with a slope of 2 and outer scale of about 40 km/rad. The
reader should note that the radiance profile is the result of a line integ-
ral along the sight path through the fluctuations, and is therefore anala-
gous to the phase shift profile of a propagating electromagnetic wave. The
results presented here suggest the if the phase shift PSD had been measured
at Canton Island, it would also have had a slope of 2.
The measured optical power is presented as relative radiance since cali-
bration information is not available for the film considered. An estimate of
the optical radiance (in ergs/cm2/sec./ster.) can be obtained by multiplying
this relative radiance by 5.1 10 2. This normalization value assumes that the
peak radiance reported by Overbye11 at 9 minutes is the s.une as the peak radian-
ce presented in Figure 3.4. The factor which normalizes the area under the PSD
curve to 1 is also presented under each PSD curve. This will allow the user of
the estimated radiances use of the PSD information in other possible detailed
calculations.

INTPODUCTION
In recent years, the effects of nuclear weapon induced electron
density fluctuations on propagating electromagnetic signals have been in-
tensely studied. A fairly comprehensive discussion of a subset of these
experimental and theoretical activities, based on the theory of thin phase
screen approximation, is presented in Reference 1. In many of these studies
the electron fluctuations are usually characterized by a power spectral den-
sity (PSD) where the major effort is to associate the spatial frequency prop-
erties of the PSD with electromagnetic propagation scintillation effects.
It is this search for an adequate simple analytic PSD description that is
the motivation for this work.
A typical example of current experimental efforts for simulating
nuclear weapon effects in the ionosphere was Operation STRESS (Satellite
Transmission Effects Simulation). The principle objective of such experi-
ments is the study of actual satellite communication links propagating
through structured barium plasma clouds. In such experiments neutral bar-
ium is injected into the ionosphere in sufficient quantity that the photo-
ionized barium atoms constitute the locally dominant positive ion species.
The assumption of charge neutrality leads to the conclusion that the local
electron density fluctuations are directly proportional to the barium ion
density variations. As a result of preferred plasma expansion alonq the
magnetic field line, this localized barium induced plasma leads to forma-
tion of highly organized striation structures along the field lines, which
in many respects simulate those created by high altitude nuclear detonations.
11
j- ■-■'■■-
This mainly two dimensional variation of plasma density in such
a striated region is of particular interest since such electron irregu
larities impose a corresponding structure on the phase front of a prop
agating electromagnetic signal. With sufficient distortion of the front,
phase and amplitude fluctuations occur in the received signal. The result
is a degradation in performance of communication systems.
As a consequence of this interaction between striations and com
munication reliability this report adds data to these barium studies by
presenting results of PSD studies of the late time striated region pro
duced in the ionosphere following the megaton STARFISH nuclear detonation.
The nuclear device (with an approximate yield of 1.45 megatons 2) was det
onated at an altitude of 400 km at a latitude and longitude of ground zero
of 16.47° north and 169.63° west. On~oing experiments yielding structured
barium plasma clouds try to simulate many aspects of this nuclear disturbed
ionosphere.
In this report the experimental data base are the measured relative
optical radiance profiles of striated nuclear ionization as recorded in the
optical waveband on film. We assume that at the late times of these meas
urements in the non burst region the optical radiance of the recorded stri
ation& is proportional to the integral f N~dz, where the integral is along
the line of sight and is limited by the volume of the recorded optical im
age. Thus the optical irradiance recorded by the film is that of a super
position of striations with "profiles"N£ 2 within the optically observed rad
iating plasma, where N is the free electron density. E

SUMMRKr OF DATA BASE AND REDUCTION PRDCEDUPES
2.1 STAPFISH STRIATICN DATA
In this section pertinent data necessary to the data reduction pro-
cess are presented. For geometric orientation Figure 2,1 presents a map of
the Pacific showing the location of Johnston Island - the approximate loca-
tion of the burst point, Canton Island - location of the camera system, the
magnetic meridian through the burst point, the magnetic equator, and various
other optical data gathering stations.
The data base was synthesized from a series of photographic images
of the event that are presented in Plates 3.1 through 3.8. These images
were acquired by a SRI International camera system from Canton Island at
approximately the magnetic equator. Canton Island is at a longitude of 2.97
south and a latitude of 171.5° west. At this latitude the field line in the
magnetic meridian through the burst point is located at a longitude of 173.06
west and an altitude of 833 km. The camera optics system consisted of two
major elements - - (1) a Praktina 35 mm camera with an f/2, 50 mm focal length
lens system, and (2) an 18 inch diameter hemispherical plastic lens capable
of a 130° field of view. The plastic lens was placed approximately two feet
above the Praktina camera. The net result was a fourfold increase in the an-
gular field of view of the Praktina camera in the central image region. This
allowed a field of view of approximately 120° to be projected onto the 35mm
film. The optic axis of this composite camera system was pointed vertically
toward the sky, yielding an all-sky type of image.
This camera was run by an automatic clock that took a one minute

times of each exposure after burst (i.e., film exposed from 30C to JtC
seconds is presented as occurring at 330 secondrO ,
2.2 SUMMARY OF DATA REDUCTION PROCEDUREo
The details of the data processing procedure has beer, pre Ly
described. Only the basic concepts and their variations as they apiiieo to
this film reduction problem will be presented here. The reduced data covers
the time period after burst from about 330 to 750 seconds at an estimated
altitude of 920 to 1320 kilometers (see below). During this time period, *
except for the possible 'slow' movement of the striated region along the
magnetic field lines towards the southern conjugate, no other motion is
apparent. Thus we assume magnetically aligned striations in which the
statistical properties of the striations are azimuthally symmetric about
the magnetic field. We likewise assume that the striated cloud is optically
thin for which the measured radiance allows the determination of the

To obtain the raw magnetic field aligned data base the selected

* A review of color films during this time period from the LASL aircraft, Maui, Mauna Lea, Johnston Island, Canton and Tonga Islands re- veals that the striated region radiates in the yellow and is superimposed on a glowing apparently not structured red sky background. This yellow striated region disappears first in the north, giving the impression to an observer of an apparent southern motion. This apparent motion can also be explained by a decreasing plasma temperature as yielding the earlier decay of the yellow striated region at lower altitudes. In any event, this apparent movement would not introduce a serious across the field line blur factor in the black and white images and is not considered in this data
reduction process.

reduction processes'* can be conceptually separated into four major portions.
(1) The first phase of the data reduction process consists of converting the
image to digital form. This was accomplished by means of an AFWL (Mann -
System) scanning microdensitometer. A selected, approximately magnetic field
aligned area (x = 7, y = 13 mm) of each film image (see for example Plate
3.1) was digitized in a raster pattern using an aperture whose dimensions
were 10 microns in the horizontal (i.e., across the striations, or x-direction),
and 100 microns in the vertical (along the striation, or y-direction).
To form the raster scan pattern, the image density (log of the ratio
of light intensity transmitted by the film) was sampled every 5 microns hori-
zontally, and then the aperture was stepped-over vertically by 100 microns
(i.e., its own length) between adjacent horizontal scans. Horizontal strips
of data consisting of ten adjacent scan lines were selected from this areal
scan and reduced for five different altitude levels for each of the eight
photographic images. These selected strips comprised of 10 adjacent horizon-
tal scans are shown as numbered bands on Plates 3.1 to 3,8; each band is 1 mn
long on the film or approximately 80 kilometers in real space.
Each of these altitude regions is represented by a single "average
power spectrum" which is the average of the 10 individual PSDs contained in
the expanded "synthetic aperture" region. This procedure (use of a long 1 mm
slit along the striation) in the data reduction process is sufficient to en-
sure that the data reduction process would be noise-limited by the inherent
grain noise; i.e., no ^riation information (larger than 5 microns on film
or approximately 0. ' iiameter at 1,000 km range) would be lost ("aver-
aged out") due to fi. impling parameters.
* Each horizontal (across the striation) scan subregion was initially checked for being perpendicular to the magnetic field (as defined by the striation length) by an automatic pattern search sub-routine. If misalign- ment was detected (in this case, angles > 0.2°) a synthetic aperture sub- routine would be activated which would compensate for the determined mis- alignment angle by generating a horizontal scan line of ^ta points from the sea of stored data points from adjacent scan lines th^. ^ving a scan line everywhere perpendicular to the magnetic field.

As shown below, the data is presented in real-space geometries. To
accomplish this a film-plane to real-space transformation at the altitude
regions indicated on the plates is required. To establish the spatial lo-
cations of these luminous auroral like features various documented results
(for example, see references 3 and 6) were reviewed. These studies, and our
study, tried to establish the geometric properties of the optically recorded
striations by triangulation and also by projecting families of magnetic field
lines into the camera field of view. The results of these and our efforts
cannot position the location and volume of the radiating euroral structures
without ambiguity.
Results of two typical examples taken from prior studies are shown in
Figures 2.2.1 and 2.2.2. Tn Figure 2.2.1 the authors6 illustrate the projec-
tion into the camera system, three magnetic field lines at different altitudes
at the burst magnetic meridian plane and also in the 1 west meridian plane
from this burst meridian. As shown both projections line up well with the ob-
served auroral striations. Similarly in Figure 2.2.2 the authors3 analyze
these photographs (Plates 3.1 - 3.8) with projections of magnetic field lines
in the burst magnetic meridian and also with grids of field lines that start
at the same altitude (400, 800, and 1200 km) at the burst latitude and are in
magnetic meridians displaced in longitude about the burst region. Although in
both these, ours and other recorded studies, alignment with the recorded stri-
ations is in good agreement with field line projections, the locations of the
auroral streaks is ambiguous since projection of magnetic field lines in mer-
idian planes, both east and west, into the camera system have similar shapes.
To partially resolve this geometric ambiguity magnetic field lines
were also projected into late time film image records (3 to 13 minutes)
taken by cameras on Maui7 and the LASL aircraft (see for example. Figure
6 in Reference 2). Results of such magnetic field line projections in-
dicate that most of the striation caused (yellow) brightness at these

times lies between magnetic field lines in the magnetic meridian that passes
through altitudes at the burst point of 300 to 800 kilometers. There are
striations which are apparent to the observer that align with magnetic field
lines at higher altitudes at the burst location (for example, 1,000 and 1,200
km). However, their brightness is very low and should contribute little if
not zero to the recorded radiance values at Canton Island.
Thus, to allow transformation of the film coordinates to real space
coordinates and to minimize the effects of perspective on this analysis, and
thus simplify the computational problem, it is assumed in this study that
the Canton Island striation images (Plates 3.1 to 3.8) are from a radiant
energy source that has both vertical and horizontal extent. For computation-
al purposes it has bet n assumed that the dominant striation radiating region
is contained in an area perpendicular to the magnetic field above Canton Is-
land that is approximately + 200 km in vertical extent about the mean altitude,
and approximately + 2.3 (or + 300 km) in longitudinal extent centered about
a meridian plane at the burst region of 170.5 west longitude. Because of
the geometric ambiguity, a sensitivity of our results to a change of the mean
altitude of this striation volume is demonstrated by performing the calcula-
tions for mean altitudes of the magnetic field line at burst point of 400,
600 and 800 kilometers.
Figure 2.2.3 illustrates (by using the ONEMAG computer program8) the
altitude dependence of the field lines on the selected magnetic meridian
pertinant to this discussion. Shown also in this figure is the burst point
and its relationship to the position of the five windows selected for data
analysis.
(2) The computation of the power spectra requires that the scan profiles
be converted from film units ( image density, film coordinates ) to phys-
ical units ( relati 2 source brightness, real-space units ). This convert on

comprises the second phase of the data reduction process. The dimension-
al conversion arises from the 5 micron film sampling increment and the total
scan length. The Fast Fourier Transform algorithm used to create frequency do-
main conversions of the spatial radiance profiles derives its frequency inter-
val from the total scan length. Each digitized horizontal scan resulted in a-
bout 1400 image points. This measured profile was extended artificially to a
scan length of 4096 (21 ) points by adding zero radiance values when (after
film background subtraction) both the first and last measured radiance values
were zero. In cases where these two terminal values of the measurec5. radiance
profile vvere not zero, the radiance value of the 40^6 point was set to that of
the first measured radiance value. The artificial points between the last meas-
ured value and this 4096 point were filled by use of a linear slope between
these two values.
The purpose of extending artificially the radiance profile is to mini-
mize possible aliasing which is one of the primary dangers of using finite
Fourier transforms. This smoothing procedure drops the higher frequencies
rather than allow them to be manifested in a confusing manner. The 5 micron
sampling interval thus produces (for 4096 values) an effective scan length of
20.48 mm which determines a frequency interval of C.C4883 cycles/mm on the
film between sample points. The real-space frequency interval (in cycles/km)
is thus Af = 0.01883/magnification, where the recorc'ing instrument magnifica-
tion factor (km/mm) is determined by dividing the slant range distance from
the camera to the mean striation volume by the effective focal length of 12.5
mm. (The plastic lens has the effect of decreasing the Fraktina focal length
by a factor of 4). Thus for a slant range of 1000 km, Af = 6.104 x 10 ^ cycles
/km and Ak = 3.835 x 10"3 rads/km.
Graphic results presented in this report are scaled in cycles/km and
rads/km in real-space at the altitude level indicated on the plot. The Kyquist
limit (i.e., mamimum possible resolvable spatial frequency under ideal condi-
tions) for the scan data is given by l/(2Ax) where ^x is the (0.C05 mm) film
sampling interval. Thus this limit for the film is 100 cycles/mm (i.e., 7.8
rads/km in real space for the present data). In this study, sional informat-
ion (as measured by the frequency dependencr. of the signal/noise (S/N) ratio,
was found to decay into the film grain noise at approximately 10 cycles/mm.

The image density information was converted to relative radiance
r.y using post-factc estimates of the film characteristics. This was neces-
b.'.ry since the SRI positive film used for these STARFISH characterizations
was not intended to provide quantitative source brightness information and
therefore was not calibrated. Thus the standard procedures to convert den-
sity to radiance could not be used. The film did posess rectangular steps
of constant density of 0.3 d as the variation of each step prior to printing,
a relative characteristic curve was established which placed most of the
transmittance measurements of the processed film on the linear portion
(having a slope, y = 0.9) of the diffuse density vs. log (exposure)curve.
(3) The third phase of the reduction process involves computations
which produce a sanitized power spr^trum from the average of ten PSD measure-
ments (one for each of the 10 adjacent scan lines in the synthetic aperture)*,
Each spatial frequency power spectrum is obtained from the sum of the squares
of the A';, and B's which arise as the coefficients of the sine and cosine
series in the Fourier transformation of the artificially extended radiance
prcfile. In essence, the sanitization process involves the construction "♦, 5 '
of a frequency domain filter which compensates for the effects of the
modulation transfer function (high frequency suppression) due to motion
blur and film/lens frequency response characteristics, and ^hich filters
out spurious hiqh frequency power due to film grain noise. In this study
the small perspective problem was incorporated as part of a blur correction.
Tho dominant effect on the frequency domain filter and therefore
on the present data is introduced through the signal-to-noise ratio. The
Through this computational procedure the oscillations of '-he PSD are significantly reduced. No other smoothing of the PSD i^ used since smoothing techniques can seriously effect the data.

filter function is close to unity while the S/N ratio is above unity. Once
the S/N = 1 frequency has been exceeded the filter function essentially
follows the random excursions of the measured (noise) power spectrum.
The noise power model as used in these calculations is given by:
sin(7Tvrv) 2 -2V/V, |N(v)| = N e ' N Ü 7TWV
+ N., (2.1) a
|N(v)| is the measured noise power at frequency V; Na is the frequency
independent ambient noise power due to background, instrument, etc., noise.
The form for the noise spectrum was chosen as exponential for computational
convenience. The sin (■nw)/T!WV term indicates the fact that the measured
film grain noise is convolved (in the spatial frequency domain) with the
slit response of the scan aperture (of slit width w).
(4) The final phase of the data reduction process involves the actual
characterization of the sanitized power spectra in terms of the fitting func-
tion and the SRI radius distribution analysis . The power law analytic fits
were performed over two frequency regions: (1) the larger 'mid frequency"
region covered the frequency range -3.8x10" Jl k J^. k^^ radians/km in real
space. The lower frequency bound is the first non-zero frequency resolved
by the scan parameters; the upper bound is the frequency where the filter
function suppresses the "raw" power spectrum by lOdb (Table 3.2.3, and Fig-
ure 3.3.1). Over the time coverage of this analysis (330 to 750 seconds)
this freuqency varied between 1.26 and 1.57 radians/km. The 'low frequency'
-3< < region covered the spatial freuqency range from ~3.8xlO _ k _ 0.24 radians/km.
For both the 'low' and 'mid' frequency ranges the power law fits 9
were to a form :
P(k) = ^7(An) r(v+i)Tr t „here k = 27Tf (2>2)
(L-2 + kV+1

- '■nil. ii
The fit of Equation 2.2 to the PSD data is obtained by an itera-
tion process. First, an initial estimate of the value V is obtained by
least squares log-log fits to the measured power spectrum; i.e., ln[P(k)] =
ylnk + B. Thus V is related to the power law slope, Y by: V = -(7/2 + 1) .
Having determined an initial value for V, an initial value for L in Equation
2.2 is obtained from the relationship P(k) = exp(B)/[(L~2 + k2)v+1] where B
is the value obtained from the least squares fit. An improved value for v
is then found (using the initial value of L) by refitting the log-log linear
representation of the PSD. This improved value for v then leads to an im-
proved value for L, etc. Iteration between V and L continues until their
values converge. With L and V determined, the value of (An) can be deter-
mined. This parameter is related to the variance from the mean of the index
of refraction (hence, electron density) in the striated region.
Exponential fits [P(f) = P e 0] were also performed over
the frequency interval 0.016 < k < 0.24 rads/km. As will be shown later in
expanded frequency scale plots, this frequency range represents somewhat of
a compromise, in that below a frequency of 0.03 rads/km, siqnificant depart-
ure from a single exponential of the data is observed. Because of this, a
second exponential is also fitted for the very low frequency k ^ 0.03 rads/
km region, and is also presented in the graphic presentation of the data.
The addition of this second exponential fit allows the low frequencies to
be included. Otherwise, the low frequency power that exists in the stria-
tion structure could be considerably underestimated.
Following a procedure developed at SRI5, the exponential fit
parameters were also used to estimate the striation characterization in
terms of the total number of sLriations. The details of these calculations
are also presented in Reference 4. In this procedure: 3P

and defines the total number of striations in terms of the measured zero
frequency DC power (?__,) and the zero-frequency intercept of the exponential
fit P0.
The striation radius probability distribution is assumed to be:
N(r) - 8N (2-rrf ) T o
3y'Tr(27if0r)
exp [ -l/(2TTfor)/] (2.4)
where N(r) is the relative number of striations with Gaussian radius r; f0
is the e-folding frequency from the exponential fit. The most probable rad-
ius (r ) defined by the above expression is given by:
r = l/2TT)/3fn '2.5)
As detailed by Reference 5, Equation 2.4 depends on several as-
sumptions about the physical nature of the striations. Such assumptions in-
clude: (1) the observed cloud is an assemblage of individual striations; (2)
the striations are rendomly positioned throughout the cloud; (3) the observed
radiance is due to recombination only — thus, it is proportional to the
square of the electron density; (4) the cloud is optically thin to its own
radiation; (5) the striations are radially symmetric about the magnetic field
lines; (6) the electron density profile is Gaussian about each striation axis;
(7) the peak (on-axis) electron density is independent of striation size.

SECTION 3
DATA PRESENTATION
This section summarizes the time/altitude characteristics of
possible index of refraction variations in the ionosphere in the time period
over which the STARFISH striations were measured. These characterizations
arise from relative radiance measurenents from e specific SRI Canton Island
film and are presented by power spectrum plots and tabulated parameters
describing simple analytic functions fit to these PSDs which approximately
describe the empirical data. The PSDs cover a spatial frequency range which
contains essentially 100 percent of the measured power.
Only a limited number of spectral power plots are presented to
illustrate the time/altitude ionospheric variations. The time evolution of
icnoFpheric striations was explored by selecting eight frames which covered
a time span of 330 to 750 seconds after burst. The altitude variation (see
Figure 2.2.3 and Plate 3.1) at each time, was obtained by selecting experi-
mental data from five non adjacent windows from the scanned area of each
frame. For a mean altitude of the magnetic field or the striation volume
at the burst point of 800 km, the altitude of the five selected windows
varied from 1000 to 1120 kilometers. At a burst point altitude of 400 km,
the analyzed altitude range is between 810 and 920 kilometers, while if the
altitude at burst latitude is taken as 800 km, then the altitude variation
of the selected windows is between 1190 and 1320 kilometers.
Figures 3.1 to 3.8 graphically illustrate at each altitude
irregularities in the relative radiance above film threshold as measured
perpendicular to the earth's magnetic field defined by the elongated
striation direction. These graphic illustrations are for the 600 km

presents the spatial variation of the relative radiance of the first
of the t' scan lines analyzed in each of the five windows which were
used to create the sanitized PSD at 330 seconds after the burst. At
this time the film recorded image is presented in Plate 3.1. As quickly
observed by a review of Figure 2.4 and 3.1 and also Plate 3.1, the rel-
ative radiance values for the analyzed window 1, are shown at the top.
As one goes down the field line towards the southern conjugate, the
radiance values are shown lower and lower in the graphic illustration.
Thus window 5 data is at the bottom.
As also quickly observed the plotted radiance is for a right-
to-left (i.e. West to East) scan line of the photographic image illus-

ume which passes through 600 km altitude at the burst point latitude are

the power spectra were plotted against the loq of spatial frequency (k=2TTf) .
The expansion of the region at the low frequencies shows that in a log-log
representation, the data indicates that at near zero frequency, the power
spectrum possesses a small plateau followed by a steep, approximately two
decade drop in the spectral power. This PSD behavior was not observed in
similar analysis of CHECKMATE striations**. The PSD also reveals that as the
spatial frequency increases, a frequency interval exists where the log (pow-
er) vs log (frequency) behavior approaches linearity.
Overlaying the measured data on these plots is the power law fit
expression given by Equation 2.2 as determined by analytic fits in the 'low*
(k S 0.24) frequency interval. Similar overlays were also produced for the
'mid' frequency (k 5 1.4) interval. The low frequency fit interval analytic
overlays were selected since these gave more frequently a better fit to the
measured data.
It is important to note that the power spectrum does not yield
a unique solution to Equation 2.2. The solution depends on the selected
frequency interval of the power spectrum fitting range that is used to ar-
rive at the desired parameters given in Equation 2.2.
The low frequency interval is defined as the interval that in-
cludes all frequencies up to a maximum frequency of 0.24 rads/km. Thus
the selected cut-off frequency is independent of the measured PSD and there-
fore does not vary with time and altitude.
Tables 3.1.1 through 3.1.8 summarize all the least square fit
values for the parameters which allow Equation 2.2 to best fit the data
for each of the measured PSDs in this study. Included in these tables
are the results from all three burst altitudes (400, 600, and 800 km) con-
sidered, thus allowing a comparison of the variation of these parameters,
which result from the altitude ambiguity of the striation region.

Tables 3.1.1, 3.1.3, 3.1.5 and 3.1.7 present values that define the
analytic fits as obtained from use of the 'low frequency interval", while
Tables 3.1.2, 3.1.4, 3.1.6 and 3.1.8 present values that define the ana-
lytic fits as obtained from use of the 'mid frequency interval'. Because
the selected cut-off frequency, k , for the 'mid frequency interval'
is defined as the frequency where the filter function decays by -10 db,
it is dependent on the measured PSD and therefore does vary with time and
altitude. Its time/altitude behavior is presented in Table 3.2.3 which
lists all the kj^x values that were used to arrive at the 'mid frequency
interval' values.
Time '-nd altitude variation of the power exponent, V, shown in Equa-
tion 2.2, are presented in Tables 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 while Tables 3.1.3 and
3.1.4 present the outer scale size, L. Table 3.1.5 presents the variation
of the slope associated with the linear portion of the loq (power) vs. log
(frequency) plot, while Table 3.1.7 and 3.1.8 give the value of the scal-
ing factor. A, which represents the numerator of Equation 2.2. Also shown
in these tables are the average values of these parameters where the val-
ues were averaged over altitude and time.
To give some insight into the time dependence of the power law par-
ameters, the values which were averaged over altitude at each time are
presented in plotted form. Thus Figure 3.1.11 presents the time behavior
of the average value of the exponent, V, and the outer scale size, L; Fig-
ure 3.1.12 illustrates the time behavior of the slope and of the altitude
averaged value of the scale factor, A, in Equation 2.2. These sets of
graphic illustrations are shown for the three different considered alti-
tude locations of the striation volume, as well as, the arrived at results
from the two different frequency intervals used in computing the analytic
fits for overlaying the measured data. Other plotted representations of
these parameters are possible from the presented tabulations. These are
left as an exercise for the interested reader. The data is detailed e-
nough to arrive at an understanding of the sensitivity of the data to the
ambiguity in our knowledge of the altitude of the striated region.

3.2 PSD, EXPONENTIAL FIT DATA PARAMETERS
In this section we overlay the measured data b a two term exponen-
tial fit. A similar PSD representation for the STARFISH northern conjugate
beta patch striations is presented in Reference 10. Figures 3.2.1 through
3.2.10 present part of our PSD overlayed data as a function of time, at
constant altitudes. In a review of these plots it is evident that a de-
parture occurs from the data (at k < 0.04 radians/km) when fit by a single
exponential P{f) - Ij exp (-kAo) over the range 0.016 < k < 0.236 radians/km.
Thus to prevent the underestimation of the very low frequency power (k < 0.04
radians/km) a second semi-log linear curve I2 is added to represent this low
frequency region.
Tables 3.2.1 through 3.2.3 summarize the least square fit values for
the semi-log linear analytic fit parameters. Tables 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 pre-
sent the intercept, ll, and slope (1/koj) for the frequency fit interval
(0.016 < k < 0.236 radians/km) for the three different locations of the stri-
ated region. Table 3.2.3 presents the intercept I2, d/koa) for the very
low frequency range (0 < k < 0.04 radians/km) at only one altitude. Be-
cause of the steepness of the data in this frequency range, these paramet-
ers do not vary significantly with altitude and therefore tabulated values
of the parameters are omitted for the other two altitudes of the luminous
striation volume. The tables also present the values of these parameters
averaged over time and over altitude. The time variation of these para-
meters (of the slope, the intercepts Ii and 12) are presented in Figure 3.2.11.

3.3 OTHER DATA ANALYSIS RESULTS
As previously reported various other parameters are determined
from the PSD by the Aurora computer program.
3.3.1 Radiation Profile Integral 1168
For each scan line considered the optical power integral, ^Ax Y. 1=2
1/2[R(I-1)+R(I)], was determined from each relative radiance profile a-
cross the observed striations. The average value of this integral was de-
termined for each of the five windows (illustrated on the enclosed photo-
graphs) by averaging over the total number of scan lines comprisina each
window. Table 3.3.1 summarized the results and illustrates the observed
variation in optical power with altitude and time. The values were also i
averaged over altitude at each time, to remove the altitude fluctuations. f
The results of this averaging are presented in Figure 3.3.1. As expected,
the time variation shows a decay of the radiant striation optical power i
with increasing time.
3.3.2 Power Spectral Integral 2 o u e
In all cases considered the integral *=:Av Z 1/2 [P (I)+P{I-1) ] , over 1 = 2
the sanitized power spectrum was determined at each altitude and time. The
results of this integral as it varied with altitude and time are presented
in Table 3.3.2. Also shown in this table are the average values after the
altitude variation at each time were averaged out. Figure 3.3.1 illustrates
the time variation of the average value of this integral. Its decay in time
is similar to that of the optical power from which its value arises.
3.3.3 Frequency Where Filter Function Decreases By 10 db
In the data analysis, a filter function was used m order to

describe and correct for the spatial frequency response of the various com-
ponents in the film measuring process. It can be assumed that no usable data
exists in the power spectrum at frequencies larger than the frequency where
the filter function operating on the "raw" power spectrum, suppresses its
value be 10 db. The frequency at which this first occurred was determined
as a function of time and altitude for all the PSDs. Some of the determined
values of this frequency are presented in Table 3.2.3. The time variation of
the value of this frequency after averaging over altitude at each time is
graphically illustrated in Figure 3.3.1.
3.3.4 Number of Striations
It was indicated before that by following a procedure developed
by SRI , the exponential fit parameters can be used to estimate the total
number of striations in the imaged spatial volume. Using the expression
given by Equation 2.3 and the required fit parameters, the number of stria-
tions were determined. The time/altitude values of striations which resulted
in this analysis are presented in Table 3.3.3. As observed from a study of
the data (and also Fiqure 3.3.2) it is clear that these values are not
unique for they depend on the assumptions used and the frequency interval
over which the semi-log linear fit is established. Fiaure 3.3.2 presents
the time variation of the number of striations after the altitude variations
of this value were averaged out. It is significant to note that over the
time period considered the number of striations does not appear to chance
even though the relative radiant power has decreased by approximately a
factor of three (see Figure 3.3.1).
3.3.5 Most Probable Striation Radius
As shown by Equation 2.4 a radius probability distribution can
be determined from the exponential fit. The most probable radius values of
this distribution wnich arises from the data at each altitude and time
■—
— I,, mmmmmmm
are summarized in Table 3.3.4. The time dependence of the altitude-averaged
value of this most probable radius is illustrated in Figure 3.3.2. This
plotted data indicates that no significant change in this value is observed
in the time span of this analysis.
3.3.6 Total Area Contained in Gaussian Striations
Another parameter that can be determined is the total area/TT
(or total unit volume, i.e., unit length along the striations) of all stri-
f ■> ations m the imaqed spatial volume. This total area/7T is defined as :-i(r)r dr.
N(r) is the striation radius distribution (Equation 2.4) normalized such that
ll(r)dr equals the total number of striations. The symbol r is the Gaussian
striation radius (in cm). The time and altitude values of this parameter
are presented in Table 3.4.5, Figure 3.3.2 presents the time dependence of
the value of this parameter after the altitude averaging has been performed.
A review of Figure 3.3.2 indicates that the striations occupy about 10% of
the total volume used in these calculations for the imaged striation region.
Likewise, except for the shift brought about by the ambiguity of the location
of the striation volume, no time variation of this parameter is determined.
3.3.7 Relative Volume Emission
Having determined the total striation area A, (or unit volume a-
long the striations) the volume emission of optical light can be determined
from the expression E =- [47TJR{x)dx]AA, where P(x) is the meanured, relat-
ive radiance profile across the striations. Thus, E is the relative volume
emission in units of emitted power per cubic centimeter for each striation
averaged over the emission alonq the camera line-of-sight. The value of this
optical emission volume as determined for each altitude and time, using the
measured relative power, is presented in Table 3.3.6. It is likewise graph-
ically illustrated in Figure 3.3.1.

SECTION 4
CONCLUSIONS
In this report we have summarized results of derived parameters
of simple analytic representations of spatial frequency power spectra that
arose from relative radiance measurements of STARFISH striations as recorded
on film at Canton Island. We have tried to establish a time and altitude
dependence of the power spectra. Because of the allowable time element for
this study, and complexity of the data, we were not successful in this en-
deavor. Study of the presented data reveals that it is not obvious if one
exists in the time period and location of our analysis. It could very well
be, that at these late times, the striation region, which is far removed
from the burst location, is substantially the same and regions within this
striation volume of different character, which ought to be described by
different PSDs, do not exist. In any event the data is presented in suffi-
cient detail to allow review by others, as to the existence of possible
time/altitude effects on the determined PSDs.
Although ambiguity exists as to the actual altitude of the stria-
tion volume, the results of the fit parameters describing the two considered
analytic fits to the PSDs (log-log linear, semi-log linear) are quite insen-
sitive to this ambiguity. This is not true regarding derived parameters that
are model dependent (such as number of striations, striation area, volume
emission, etc.). As shown by the presented data these parameters are sensi-
tive to the selected location of the striation volume. The time dependence
of these model dependent parameters likewise indicates that the sampled
striation region, is substantially the same over the time/altitude interval
studied.

The prime purpose of these measurements was to establish the power
spectral density from the striation properties and determine if these stria-
tion properties would restrict the PSD to a relatively simple analytic form.
It is clear from the presented results how well this car; be achieved by a
power law or a single exponential fit. It is also shown in Figures 3.2.1
through 3.2.10 that a much better fit to the data is achieved by a two-
term exponential fit. Although time did not allow to review the data in
terms of a similar two-term power law fit, it is certain that because of the
sharp PSD drop a k = 0.01 rads/km, a better representation of the PSDs
would be achieved by such a considerötion. This is easily seen by a review
of Figure 4.1 and 4.2 where one of the PSDs from Figure 3.1.1 is reproduced.
In Figure 4.1 analytic fits of Equation 2.2 are overlayed for a fixed
slope (V = 0.014, i.e., Y = 2.03) and six different values of the outer scale
size, L. Likewise in Figure 4.2 analytic fits of Equation 2.2 are overlayed
over the experimentally determined PSD for an outer scale, L = 390 and five
different values of V represented by the slope, y. It will be noted that for
wave numbers greater than 0.03 rads/km, a very good fit to the data is achieved
by a power law fit having a slope of about 2 (i.e., V = 0) and an outer scale
size of 20 f L < 100 km/rad. If this were selected then the power region at
lower wave number (km/rad) values could be expressed by an added second func-
tion. Our endeavor to fit all the data by one simple expression forces the
selection of a large value (~ 400) for the outer scale size. Since this is
about the distance of the entire scan length across the striations, it seems
clear that this very large outer scale size is not a result of stochastic
large scale fluctuations, but is instead related to the deterministic gross
structure of the radiance profile. On several of the PSD plots shown in Sec-
tion 3 there appears to be a short flat shelf at k ~ 0.03 rads/km. This sug-
gests that the true outer scale for the stochastic fluctuations may be in the
range of 20 to 40 km/rad, and that the increase in the PSD for k < 0.03 km/rad
is due to the deterministic structure of the radiance profile.
