SOME MEASUREMENTS OF TERRAIN EFFECTS ON BLAST WAVES
Abstract
During Operation Buster some of the nearby hills were instrumented using pressure gauges in an attempt to explore the manner in which terrain features influence the propagation of blast waves. Because of loss of records from experimental difficulties and lack of duplication of gauges, results are, at best, fragmentary. The evidence on the protective effects of hills is inconclusive, but there is definite evidence of a change in a blast proceeding up the front of a hill. (Author)
