Infrasound and Infrasonic Monitoring of Atmospheric Nuclear Explosions: PastMonitoring Efforts

摘要

This report presents the results of an unclassified review and discussion of pastU.S. programs directed toward the infrasonic monitoring of atmospheric nuclear explosions. In brief, the U.S. monitored virtually all atmospheric nuclear explosions conducted by China, France, the former Soviet Union and the United States. The review of the detection performance of continental stations used to monitor U.S. tests at the NTS indicates that maximum detection ranges for
