EXPLOSION-GENERATED WAVES 1965 MONO LAKE TEST SERIES

Abstract

In the summer of 1965, 10 spherical TNT charges, each weighing about 9,200 pounds were detonated in Mono Lake, California. This report treats the analysis and comparison of wave data collected during the tests. Generation, propagation, and runup of the explosion-generated waves are discussed and the results are examined in relation to current methods of predicting these properties.
