HYPSLIT air mass trajectories illustrating wind shear derived from archival meteorological data that was inconsistent with reported actual weather conditions at the Semipalatinsk test site at time of detonation. Symbols are plotted in 1 hour intervals. The wind shear resulted in different sized particles depositing in the vicinity of Dolon over a wider area (Fig. 5) than indicated by retrospective soil sample analyses.
