Abstract
Glows have been observed at Woomera when grenades ejected from Skylark rockets have been detonated in the altitude range 90-170 km. Using results obtained from these glows by a special scanning photometer located on the ground, an estimate has been made of the diffusion coefficient in the region 120-160 km. The theoretical model which is used to describe the behaviour of the explosion products incorporates the assumptions of molecular diffusion, a Gaussian distribution of particle density, and an optically thin cloud. The effects of consumption of the cloud particles are included in the model.
