Abstract
The rate of diffusion of a trimethyl aluminum trail released by a Skyl ark rocket over Woomera, Australia (31 degrees S, 137 degrees E), in 1 969 is interpreted in terms of molecular and turbulent diffusion, and is related to the scale of internal atmospheric gravity wave winds. Im plications for disagreement between imaging Doppler interferometry and incoherent scatter radar winds are explored.
