Summary of Selected Worldwide Temperatures in Explosive Hazard Magazines

Abstract

Minimum and maximum temperatures (385,221 data points) from explosive hazard storage magazines located at Yuma, Arizona; Subic Bay, Philippines; and Fort Richardson, Alaska are used to construct cumulative distribution curves. These distribution curves show the probability that ordnance, stored in these magazines, will reach any given air temperature. They allow an objective judgment to be made on maximum and minimum earth-covered storage magazine temperature specifications.
