Abstract:

The results of analysis of microbarograph records from two presumed atmospheric nuclear explosions are given. The events occured on 27 December 1968 and 29 September 1969, and were recorded by microbarograph arrays in Boulder, Colorado, College, Alaska, Huancayo, Peru, Tel Aviv, Israel and at LAMA, the Large Aperature Microbarograph Array in Montana. The authors also show LAMA data and analysis results for eight other presumed explosions. In addition to demonstrating the effectiveness of the digital detector, the purpose of the report is to make the calibrated data and spectral calculations available to other workers in this field.
