· Journal of Geophysical Research
The atmospheric pressure waves set off by the explosion of October 30, 1961, were traced over a large portion of the world, including the antipodes in the Antarctic, by Means of analyses of available ordinary microbarograph records. The observed geographic variations in propagation speed and maximum amplitude are examined with the aid of air density and wind analyses. Comparison is made with the waves resulting from the great Siberian meteor of 1908 and the Krakatoa eruption of 1883.
