Long-Distance Blast Predictions, Microbarometric Measurements, and Upper-Atmosphere Meteorological Observations for Operations Upshot-Knothole, Castle, and Teapot.

摘要

A blast prediction and microbarograph observation program was operated by Sandia Corporation during Operations Upshot-Knothole, Castle, and Teapot. Refined methods for blast prediction were derived which appear to predetermine adequately the possibility of blast damages occurring out side the Nevada Test Site during test operations. In addition, sound recordings have been used for inverted geophysical seismic exploration of winds and temperatures in the ozonosphere, 30-60 km above the earth. (Author).
