Results obtained during two industrial explosions are compared. The appearance of identical minute pulsations in the geomagnetic field is determined. The efficiency of ionospheric action of ground-based explosions with the energy of several hundred tons of TNT is confirmed, together with the dependence of duration of the ionospheric response upon the explosion energy. Dopplergrams are used to reconstruct the time profile of neutral gas velocity in the acoustic perturbation at the reflection point of the probing radio wave at a height of /approximately/200 km.
