ABSTRACT (Continue an reveree side if neceesary and ideniify by block number)

Air-pressure measurements on Operation Ivy were unique in two respects:
Detonation of the first "“superbomb" on Mike shot_presented an opportunity to
verify experimentally the applicability of the W!/3 scaling law at larger yields
than ever before; and on King shot it was possible to observe simultaneously the
development of the shock waveform over land and over water.
