Abstract

Theoretical barograms have been calculated for acoustic-gravity waves generated by underground explosions. Two formulations were used. 1) The thermally modeled gravitating atmosphere is excited by a time varying deformation of the earth's surface. The final deformation is the static surface displacement due to a point pressure source at depth in an elastic half-space. 2) The same atmosphere overlying a multilayered half-space is excited by a point pressure source at depth in the solid medium.
