Some studies of P waves from underground nuclear explosions

Wright, J.K. / Carpenter, E.W. / Savill, R.A.

First arrivals (P_n) from Hardtack series of underground explosions, at distances up to 1000 km, are analyzed in detail; there is no measurable dispersion in these arrivals, and possibility that observed decay of amplitude with distance is due to low velocity layer below Mohorovicic discontinuity is discussed.
