GROUND SURFACE AIR PRESSURE VERSUS DISTANCE FROM HIGH YIELD DETONATIONS
Abstract
Operation CASTLE presented an opportunity to ob tain air pressure data in high and low pressure regions from surface bursts of high-yield weapons. Air-pressure measurements using self contained, flash-initiated gages were successful. Overpressure data were obtained up to pressure levels of 250 psi. Dynamic pressure measurements using newly developed self-recording ''q'' gages were successful. Measurements were obtained over a dynamic pressure range of 0.47 to 135 psi. (Author)
