The atmospheric Cerenkov methods were applied to the investigation of extensive air showers over a range of zenith angles. The study of angle effects for vertical showers was applied to similar showers passing through different atmospheric thicknesses; and data were recorded in 1978-1979 at the University of Adelaide by a photomultiplier for viewing the sky with slight mechanical collimation for reducing the background light from large zenith angles. Collected measurements were correlated to an attenuation length of 234 + or - 38 g/sq cm for showers with sea-level dimensions of one million, showing that the Cerenkov pulse shape technique is a practical method of investigating air shower characteristics.
