Excerpt
Excerpt: Intelligence efforts should focus on collections as early as possible in the proliferation time line and should continue such efforts throughout the proliferation effort. In addition to the usually emphasized signatures that might characterize BW/CW agent manufacture or storage facilities, intelligence efforts should also focus on the establishment of a sustained program in boundary layer meteorology and the signatures thereof.
