Test data are presented for wind load distribution on hemispheres and domes, where models were placed on floor of wind tunnel in boundary layer flow; three hemispheres tests were conducted; two tests were made on hemispheres of different size with different Reynold's numbers and differing relationship to boundary layer; both models were spun and lightly polished; third hemisphere test was made with artificially roughened surface; four domes of varying span to rise ratio were also tested.
