Acoustic-Gravity Waves From Low-Altitude Localized Disturbances
Abstract
A physics-based analytic model of the ionospheric effects of low- altitude nuclear explosions due to acoustic-gravity waves (AGW) is produced. The model contains the essence of AGW theory predictions while including basic atmospheric chemistry effects to allow descriptions of AGW induced changes for both nighttime and daytime ionospheres. The model allows multiple explosions at arbitrary times and locations although its experimental basis is, of course, from single explosion data.
