Projeet 10.2 - TimenofANDivad ~ J. F. Mullaney

The ts

the

arrival method was employed to estimate the yiel:. of

ERIE) through wee of hand-held stop watches at Station

iste,Parry Island,

The shock wave wae heard clearly, and there was

almost exact agreement in time interval as measured by several edser~
vers.

The time of arrival at the microbarograph station of Project

32.1 at Rniwetok Island was aleo noted by Carter Broylee (Sandia).

The times of arrival and ranges of these stations are given in Table
0.21.

The sound velecity caleulated using the expression 1.4 prpseure/density
is 1145 feet per second.

A wind of 12 knota frem 100° adds 57 feet to

the air path between Ground Zere and the Enivetok station, and 228 feet
te the path to Station 1518.

The shock wave epeed (still slightly above

cownd epeed) in the last third of the path to Bniwetek is then:

The sound speed 1145 fpe ie in good agreement with this figure, and ie weed
in getting the yield estimates in Table 10.2-1.

As was indlested in the report on LACROSSE, an empirical reflection De
faster of 1.6 seems appropriste for & land-based surface shot.

The,

(ERIE) was not a surfece shot but was fired on a 300-ft. tower,

Dr.

Seasord, Jr., and Carter Broyles point out that in the ease of a tewer
shot, the reflection factor should not be applied in calculating the treverse
