Long range blast predictions and measurements, Misers Bluff, Phase II

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6288237

Both Event 1 (120 ton ANFO) and Event 2 (720 ton ANFO) explosions had the potential for causing nuisance airblast damage at long range (50 km) with atmospheric propagation enhancement. A Weather Watch blast prediction service, and microbarograph measurement project was established to help avoid generating any significant off-site disturbance. The system worked quite well, airblast waves were propagated beyond Planet Ranch.
