OPERATION GREENHOUSE. Scientific Director's Report. Annex 1.6. Blast Measurements. Part 2. Free-Air Peak Pressure Measurements. Section 1. Nuclear Explosions 1951,

Abstract

The primary objective of this experiment was to obtain accurate information on the pressure in the shock wave in the free-air region. In particular, it was desired to know the peak pressure as a function of distance in this region. Secondary objectives were to determine the path of the triple point and to determine the peak pressure in the Mach-stem region. Keywords include: NTPR(Nuclear Test Personnel Review), Nuclear explosion testing, Eniwetok Atoll, Blast measurements, and Free-air peak pressure.
