Infrasonic observations and modeling of the Minor Uncle High Explosive event
Minor Uncle was a Department of Defense sponsored explosive test of 2440 tons of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil (ANFO) executed on June 10, 1993, at White Sands Missile Range, NM. Los Alamos National Laboratory made infrasonic observations of this event at three stations: Los Alamos, NM, 250 km range; St. George, UT, 750 km range; and the Nevada Test Site, NV, 928 km range. All three stations obtained positive results and had very low background noise levels. Data from all stations will be presented, and normal mode calculations of the wave propagation, including upper atmospheric winds, to St. George will be compared to the data.
