Abstract

IN previous reports1,2 one of us (H. M.) has suggested that the initial phase of artificial magnetic storms due to high-altitude nuclear explosions over Johnston Island (16.5° N.; 169.5° W.) may be interpreted by hydromagnetic waves propagated through the high atmosphere from the explosion point. Such a suggestion has also been made by many other workers. The purpose of this communication is to exhibit evidence supporting such a suggestion. (Quite recently, Berthold et al. 3 have also found similar effects due to Argus.)
