Phase II of the Misers Bluff high explosive experimental program had as a primary objective, the collection of multiple burst ground motion data in a scaled MX valley, against which the Waveform Synthesis Model (WSM) developed in Phase I could be evaluated. Phenomenology in single and multiple burst environments is examined and its effect on the WSM discussed. The end result of the study is a modified WSM for both single and multiple bursts. Example waveforms from the WSM are compared with Misers Bluff data. Limitations on the WSM are discussed and recommendations for further study are made.
