Peak pressurve measured by Sandia Corporation are ehown in Tadle I, in
comparison with the predicted pressures from 12 MT for an ideal surface and
homogeneous atmosphere.

Pressure is essentially up to the ideal value at

the closest distances, but are markedly reduced at long distances.

On the

basis of peak pressure, the apparent yield diminishes frou about 10.5 Mf
at Engebi to less than 1 MY on Farry.

Also, Bandia Corporation reports fast

rise times in the pressure wave at the 23.6 pel level on Engebi; fast rise

times as far out as Acmon (2.75 pei). Successively longer rise times occur

At longer distences, the atmospheric effects apparently do

result ia a marked attenuationof peak proeeures.
