If a sound wave, rising through the sub-zero temperatures below the upper jet stream, suddenly hit a layer nearly as warm as the earth's surface, the top of the wave front, he figured, would accelerate. The whole front would then bend back earthward and rumble down. Diamond figured that he might be able to bounce a boom off the upper stream, predict its course, and record the boom as it came back to earth, thus helping to confirm his rocket data...
