The Statistics of Amplitude and Spectrum of Blasts Propagated in the Atmosphere. Volume I.
Abstract
This report presents the results of a study of blast propagation in the atmosphere. Detailed blast noise measurements and information on meteorological conditions gathered at Fort Leonard Wood, MO were used to develop blast propagation statistics. The relationship between the specific meteorological and terrain conditions at Fort Leonard Wood and the measured blast amplitudes was established, as were frequency-weighted one-third octave spectra for use in predicting community response to blast noise. The weather and terrain dependence of blast propagation implies that the data gathered at Fort Leonard Wood can be used to predict blast amplitudes under similar conditions at other locations and to suggest possible relationships between general weather conditions and blast statistics.
