Seismic decoupling for explosions in spherical underground cavities
Series of paired explosions in salt mine near Winnfield, La, has been conducted to test theory by A.L. Latter concerning seismic decoupling by underground cavities; shot sizes were from 20 lb to 1 ton; surface measurements were made out to 100 km and covered frequency range from 0.05 to 100 cps; experiment confirmed that decoupling does occur; minimum decoupling factors as function of frequency are presented.
